Supporting arguments
1 Corinthians 1:4-8 and Ephesians 4:7-13 state that Christians will receive these gifts until the second coming of Jesus, which will happen in the future as described in the Book of Revelation and elsewhere in the Bible. [1]
The gifts of the Holy Spirit used to be highly visible, but must now be taken primarily on faith. This is taught by the Brethren Reformed Church. [2]
Opposing arguments
Jesus was the final prophet, after whom the history of Christian prophecy ended. [3]
|
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul specifically says that the gift of tongues was going to end, which is why it is no longer practiced as it was in the Bible. [4]
|
Miracles were something that happened in Jesus' era, but true miracles haven't been witnessed in recent times. [5]
