Is Cessationism a LIE? Unmasking the Flaws in the “Gifts Have Ceased” Doctrine

Prophecy & Tongues: Dead or Alive? 🔥 We’re challenging cessationism & making the case for supernatural power in the church today!

Did miraculous gifts really stop with the apostles? This week on Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller are diving into the Straight Truth Podcast’s case for cessationism and pushing back as continuationists. We’ll review Dr. Richard Caldwell’s arguments about “sign gifts” and the closing of the New Testament canon, offering a biblical defense of the Holy Spirit’s ongoing power. Discover why we believe prophecy, tongues, and healing are still vital for Christian theology, spiritual warfare, and building up the church.
