Dan and I have were recently discussing the differences between cessationism and a continuationist view of spiritual gifts in the context of this article on what I'll dub "cessationist healings". In the 12th comment to that article, Tim offers his own definition of cessationism:
Cessationists, quite simply, believe that the miraculous gifts of the Spirit were given for a specific purpose and thus a specific time. These gifts have since ceased. Miracles still happen, but do not depend on the spiritual gifts.
So while we believe that the gift of tongues is no longer operative, we still believe that God can miraculously give someone the ability to speak in a language he does not rightly know. It's just that this person does not have the gift of tongues. We believe that God can still heal miraculously but do not believe that there are people with the spiritual gift of healing. We believe that people can still prophecy (think of John Huss, who before he died, prophecied something like "You are now going to burn a goose, but in a century you will have a swan which you can neither roast nor boil." This prophecy came true in the Reformation, but did not rely on the spiritual gift of prophecy.
So we do not believe that the miraculous has ceased. We believe that the gift has ceased. Most charismatics (or continuationists) do not understand this distinction.
Would you classify the events/views describes in the article as being cessationist or not?
