Is Continuationism or Cessationism a hard doctrine to prove?

Those scriptures dont necessarily refer to voices in our head.
Consciousness is loudness. I've belabored and demonstrated that (self-evident) point too many times on this thread to bother repeating the effort. ANY impact of the Holy Spirit in our hearts and minds, therefore, can be classified as the divine Voice (Jn 10:27).

I believe all the "Charismatic Gifts" ceased with the completion of the NT Scriptures.

Making miracles don't automatically says you are doing things wrong you know, actually it says you are doing well, if God backs you up something right you are doing,

People who don't do miracles in God name can be rejected as well you know.
actually it says you are doing well

Only if they keep the Lords commands.


People who don't do miracles in God name can be rejected as well you know.
Not if they keep the Lords commands.

These commands:

Matthew 6:19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

I have more Holy Spirit in my life than I ever did as a Charismatic.
Not sure what this means. You mean you have good behavior? Even the JWs have good behavior. There must be more to it than that.

Wouldn't it have to also include some - oh, I don't know - maybe some loudness?

Fullness of the Holy Spirit comes through repentance and holiness.

Why assume that people who do miracles are not going to keep the commandments.
Its the same for the one who did miracles and for the one who do not.

Primarily I've been challenging you to explain YOUR experience of such words, to see if it can be done without recourse to loudness. You seem to keep deflecting and evading.

Why assume they do? Jesus said many will boast of miracles but He will reject them.

Yes, this should be obvious, anything God does in our interior can be classified as God voice, actually i don't know how people can be christian and at the same time never have an 'impact' from God, something God does in your interior that tells you about something.

But many will not be from God.

Don't say all the miracles in pentecostal churches are a fraud or of the devil, because that is dangerous and not realistic also. If you do you should stop reading so much John macartur or something.

I dont say, but their doctrine may or may not be in line with Jesus commands. I dont follow miracles i follow Jesus commands.. Jesus said many will boast in miracles but be rejected, but those who follow His word will be considered wise

You should like Jesus miracles too, nothing wrong with that.
Also lol repeating, people who do miracles / like miracles does not mean they can't follow Jesus commands. Many will do miracles and be rejected but again lol, that just one less for miracle doers, but there is a long list for anyone else.
