continuationism

In this episode, we get to have a conversation with Dr. Craig Keener, a scholar with a Ph.D. from Duke University, and discuss miracles and continuationism.   He emphasizes the biblical basis for the continuation of spiritual gifts, referencing Acts chapter two and the age between Jesus' first and second coming. Dr. Keener shares personal experiences with miracles and spiritual gifts, including witnessing healings and immediate answers to prayer. He also recounts a story of 28 witch doctors converting to Christianity in Indonesia.

It's 90 minutes of calls, texts, emails, comments, and questions. Did the Reformed (e.g., Calvin) hold to a continuationist view of the gifts? Did the Reformed hold to common grace and the free offer of the gospel etc? How do we read Old Testament prophecies (in light of the New Testament)? Has the church always taught the inerrancy of Scripture? Are we running short of ministers? Why did the Reformed churches rid their churches of instruments and why? Do the Eastern Orthodox churches really represent the unbroken succession of the apostolic church? What does Dr Clark make of Dr Meredith Kline's theology? Can we pray to the Trinity as such? Is Pilgrim Theology part of the Reformed tradition? The opening audio is from John Fesko's remarks at the most recent national meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society.

 Some teach that speaking in tongues is for the body of believers today. Some say tongues ceased when the disciples left this world. What does Scripture tell us or indicate? Have tongues ceased or are they still for today? What are they for anyway?
