When did I say that? Only the gifts that GOD says will be ceased are ceased. The Holy Spirit gift shop doesn't dispense the gift of Apostleship or the gift of Prophecy anymore, does he? So why could he not cease others that have served their purpose as well? But, getting back to the question, what is your interpretation of the gift of discernment?
If we are told to "test the spirits to see if they are from God" and "prove all things" by the Word of God, then Scripture IS our authority as our ONLY infallible rule and measuring rod. This means that we must NOT base our beliefs upon experiences or subjective feelings but upon the objective Word of God. We also are warned more than a few times that there will be false teachers who are able to deceive through signs and wonders, so we MUST have an objective source with which to determine what is and is not from God. If nothing else I have said so far gets through, I pray at least this does.
It's good to see you know that. 'I am The Lord that heals you', God never changes and 'He is no respecter of persons'. Now, according to your experience DON'T CHANGE IT!!

Is that the snooty attitude you speak of? Like you are some teacher and no one 'gets it' but you? Guess what - 'My sheep hear My voice...".
So pray for yourself that you do 'get it' and stop the finger pointing. We are warned about false teachers from God's Word - we know it, so get over it - they aren't going away because you are so offended by their existence.
