Are Miraculous Gifts for Today? takes you to the heart of one of
the most dividing questions in the Church today: how are the Holy
Spirit's miracles at work among God's people now? Is he still
actively giving the gifts of tongues, prophecy, and healing that
fill the book of Acts? Is he driving out demons when Christians
command them to flee? Or are these events confined to the time of
the early church and the apostles? This volume of the Counterpoints
series provides an impartial format for comparing the four main
positions on present-day miracles (including the history and
distinctions between the three positions that affirm miraculous
gifts) with voice also given to a large sector of open-but-cautious
evangelicals: Cessationist: there are no miraculous gifts of the
Holy Spirit today. Pentecostal: gifts are intended for today, with
certain nuances focused on baptism and speaking in tongues.
Charismatic: gifts are intended for today and should be actively
practiced. Third Wave: gifts are intended for today, with greater
emphasis on baptism and less on tongues. This thought-provoking
book will help Christians on every side of the miraculous gifts
debate to better understand their own position and the positions of
others. The Counterpoints series presents a comparison and critique
of scholarly views on topics important to Christians that are both
fair-minded and respectful of the biblical text. Each volume is a
one-stop reference that allows readers to evaluate the different
positions on a specific issue and form their own, educated opinion.
