Reformed and Charismatic: Apostolic Continuance
Hmm… here’s where I step out of the crowd, wearing a gigantic target on my back.
I would like to preface this by pointing out that I, at present, hold nothing in particular as bearing the weight of Scripture beyond the 66 Old and New Testament books.
That said, I have a question for continuationists: Who says the canon is closed until Christ’s return, and on what authority did they say it?
I’m all for wanting to create some distance between my group and “the heretics,” but I think we argue for the completion of the Canon for the same reason cessationists argue for the ceasing of prophecy, healings and tongues: we’re scared of being stereotyped with “the weirdos.”
If there is a convincing argument for the closing of the canon, I’ve never heard it.
