"I'm unfamiliar with any SCRIPTURE that indicates any supernatural powers extended beyond the Apostles.
Can you explain to me why Christ, who promised that the Church would exist for all time, would NOT bestow supernatural powers upon His Church after the first generation?"

IOW, it is not in SCRIPTURE.
This is a perfect example of why it's so important to rely on SCRIPTURE and not "Tradition". Your church has decided that they have "special powers" even though no evidence of this exists in SCRIPTURE.
The CHURCH is doing well despite pretenders.
I gave you Scriptures and I gave you common sense that implies that Christ gave His Church the ability to exist for all time. Do you think the Church is a man-only organization? Paul calls it the Body of Christ! Is that not supernatural?
Sola Scriptura nor Sola Fide are in the Scripture, yet you find it difficult not to constantly mention "it's not in the bible"?
Can't you see the illogical teachings of Protestantism? Practice what you preach. Get rid of Sola Fide and Sola Scriptura...
The CHURCH is doing well despite pretenders.
Yes, it is. Thanks for noticing.
