The answer to your question is this: "'Perfect' would be any actual prophecy in 2014 which looks like the prophecy Paul received in on the road to Damascus regarding his own blindness, or the announcement of the angels to the Shepherds in Luke. Everything else would be a phony imitation, and your problem is not whether the NT sets a date for the end of Apostolic gifts, but the lack of these gifts today given your view that they continue."FX Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798420127955373559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-5211971322776836932014-01-21T09:04:29.729-08:002014-01-21T09:04:29.729-08:00Because I don't see much of a difference betwe...Because I don't see much of a difference between a cat and a snake, I am deeply confused by this post. However, the point that headaches end of their own accord all the time, as do back-aches, and that there are no people speaking in tongues they never learned to speak, and that there are no prophecies like the one Paul received when he was knocked off his high horse is, in my book, the final word on this subject.<br />FX Turkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798420127955373559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-6544346371744266032014-01-21T08:31:10.073-08:002014-01-21T08:31:10.073-08:00About the only real characteristic snakes and cats...About the only real characteristic snakes and cats share is that they both kill and eat mice. :) God the Holy Spirit can choose when or if He imparts any of the signed gifts now adays, always for His glory and usually in an isolated instance, not an ongoing practice.

We don't need to speculate about what modern 'tongues' actually are; we know what actual tongues as described in the Bible are, and the modern version ain't that.<br /><br />As many have pointed out, attempting to re-define just admits the Biblical/cessationist case. To argue that modern versions are similar-but-lesser than the Biblical version admits the Biblical gift ceased.
