How could even you ask this question! According to Dr. Ben Bogard, there are three gifts remaining...faith, hope , and charity (I Cor.13:13).
Other gifts (prophecies, tongues, knowledge) are gifts in part and cease or vanish when "that which is perfect is come (I Cor.13:10).
The "that which is perfect," according to Bogard, is the "perfect law of liberty" (James 1:25).
So once the Bible was completed, gifts ceased or vanished. Isn' that what we Missionary Baptists are supposed to believe??
I know that the gift of "knowledge" has passed away by the way you answered my "Healing of the Nations" question!
Not spiritual gifts, but we have the gift of life, gift of food, etc. A gift is just that which is given.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Also, according to Mr. Bogard, wouldn't that mean the Bible is a gift?
Perhaps blog author needs to define "gifts?" When gifts are mentioned on preacher saturated blogs, we can only guess the author is talking about spiritual gifts. If gifts in general, then only a very bored man would dangle out that carrot.
I wonder if there is any way to tie the completed word with the three remaining gifts. Faith in the Word, Hope in the Word's promises, Charity in giving for the author of the Word?
Possibly so, but refraining until the author peeks from behind the curtain and defines "gifts."
This is important because many years ago I taught Language Arts. I wrote a test which had for its last question, "What does the last line of the story seem to imply?"
One student answered, "The last line of the story seems to imply that the story is over!"
I gave him credit because of how I had phrased the question.
C'mon Mike, what yu talkin' bout, gifts?
I have the gift of catching more catfish than most.
I guess blog author thinks preaching revivals is more important than timely blogging.
Priorities, priorities.
