The Charismatic Question

By Nathan Busenitz @ http://www.sfpulpit.com deals with the difficult issue of the Charismatic gifts he notes:

I. BEFORE WE BEGIN. . .

1. This is an important issue, but it is not a first-level doctrine.

2. The point of 1 Corinthians 12–14 is love, and a major purpose of the gifts is edification (1 Cor. 12:7).

3. It is possible to be confused about spiritual gifts.

4. Not every continuationist is the same.

5. Not every cessationist is the same.

6. We’re not talking about miracles, we’re talking about miraculous gifts.

7. I have been greatly blessed by some continuationists.

8. As a cessationist, I love the Holy Spirit.
