Didaché Didaché - Cessationism Interview With Dr. Tom Pennington
In the latest episode of the Didache podcast, Justin Peters interviews Dr. Tom Pennington, pastor of Countryside Bible Church, about his book A Biblical Case for Cessationism: Why the Miraculous Gifts of the Spirit Have Ended.
The discussion delves into cessationism, the belief that miraculous gifts have ceased with the Apostolic Age, versus continuationism, which holds that such gifts persist. Pennington clarifies cessationism, countering misconceptions of the Holy Spirit's inactivity post-Pentecost, asserting the Spirit's ongoing, vital role through non-miraculous means like Scripture.
The conversation covers the New Testament's categorization of spiritual gifts, historical patterns of miracles, and responses to common counterarguments. It emphasizes the sufficiency of Scripture and the dangers of undermining it through extrabiblical revelations.
