Is Continuationism or Cessationism a hard doctrine to prove?

Based on the reference you provided.
What was "scripture" at the time of that writing?
To what EXACTLY was the Apostle referring?
Not to the NT book in your imaginary history.
They included the NT writings as scripture.

The Bible existed before Abram? Wow... including the NT, right?
What were you saying earlier about "all hat and no cattle"?
I understand your frustration. You have a denomination you must agree with or eat loads of crow and possibly be out of a job. For not teaching what they want to hear. I'm foot loose and fancy free and answer only to God, and can call it the way it is.

Copies of the RCC canon of the NT?
You have a vivid imagination.
You seem to have the cart before the horse.
You seem to be grasping anything you think will help prove you made the right choice when embracing Pentecostalism, of fairly recent invention.

Nope. I am a "free agent" as well.
What does that have to do with the fantasies you are feeding us?

You still have plates of crow to eat when you finally admit your mistake.

I'm grasping at anything? Wow...
Who is claiming the Bible was before Abram and copies of the RCC canon were being distributed in the first century and the Apostles were the last prophets?

Now you are using bible with a small "b" to make your point about what constitutes the Bible in the first century? Right after claiming I am grasping at anything. Get a grip.

So early believers did not have God's word in any form?

It was not hard for me when my time came. But then I got as far away from Pentecostalism as I could.
Why do you think it would hard for me if it wasn't hard for you?

I've seen people go both directions. From evangelical to Pentecostal and Charismatic to evangelical and protestant to Catholic and Orthodox to protestant... etc. Happens all the time. And most of them are against the places they left. Like you are.

Have you ever heard me bashing evangelicalism?
