Same Jesus!
Rejected gifts? ‘Celebrity’ apostles? Wake up church!
As a reaction to Roman Catholic claims of miracles, the sixteenthcentury Reformers adopted the erroneous teaching of cessationism, purporting that the various gifts of the Holy Spirit that were active in the first-century church had been suspended by God because they were no longer necessary for the church. With it came an understanding that all of the spiritual gifts of 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 and the ministry gifts of Ephesians 4:11 had ceased to operate in the church.
Ironically, faith, knowledge, and wisdom were maintained while miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues were jettisoned! Similarly, evangelists, pastors, and teachers were somehow deemed necessary for the church while apostles and prophets were abandoned!
