Even more importantly, based on Scripture, I find it indisputable that the gifts and power of the Spirit are to continue in operation until Jesus returns.
Indisputable? So why is the author disputing? In fact, the completion of the God-given, God-breathed Scripture upon the death of the last Apostle is not in dispute. Since then, there is no man alive who can legitimately proclaim as a prophet, "Thus sayeth the LORD." One may say, "It is written . . .", and apply it correctly, but there is no more new supernatural, special revelation.
Regarding those who clain to be "charismatic" (= grace-acting), their falsity soon become obvious to all when they fulfill the Scripture:
"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" (Isa 8:20 AV).
When you run across a crowd whose prophesies are only haphazardly accomplished, not 100% all the time, you know that they are merely relying on statistics to con you, unwilling to admit that there is truly no light in them at all. They do not trust in The True Christ and His Word for all their spiritual needs.
The author of this article is one of them, by his own admission.
I was connected with some acquaintances who were very NAR oriented and constantly were prophesying all kinds of things most of which never came true.
Then they’d either conveniently forget what they said, or they’d say they said something different, when I remember what they did say.
I finally decided that I needed to separate myself from them and made the break.
