Spiritual Gifts Are for Today (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

This book makes the case that Scripture and experiences from around the world demonstrate that the full range of spiritual gifts, including prophecy and healing, remain valid today.

Recently, some have claimed that certain spiritual gifts have died out, a position called cessationism. Here noted New Testament scholar Craig S. Keener partners with leading global evangelist and pastor Daniel Kolenda to show that this position rests on tradition and contradicts the plain witness of Scripture. Nowhere does Scripture teach that any gifts will cease before Christ's return; therefore, the argument that particular spiritual gifts have ceased elevates a postbiblical doctrine above Scripture itself.

Balancing biblical exposition with stories from around the world, Keener and Kolenda argue for continuationism--the continuing work of the Spirit. They show that Scripture presents special divine activity as valid for the entire course of the present age.
