The powerful miraculous signs of the New Testament era are being experienced again; or perhaps not? What was the purpose of these gifts in New Testament times? The points raised in this book seek to help many people examine the charismatic movement in light of our only source of guidance in spiritual matters: The perfect and infallible Word of God.
This book provides clear answers to common questions such as:
– Can today's "gifts" be compared to the signs and wonders of the early Church?
– Why has there been two thousand years of Church history without them, including great periods of reform and revival?
– What was the purpose of these gifts in New Testament times?
– Were they designed to be permanent in the ongoing life of the Church?
