Some of the nations leading scholars have become guilty of teaching the inductive fallacy of Cessationism. Cessationism is a doctrine that supposes miraculous spiritual gifts—such as tongues, prophecy, and healing—ceased after the apostolic age and the completion of the New Testament canon.
This inductive fallacy is an abuse of context in literature that occurs when a text is interpreted outside its original historical, cultural, or textual framework to serve a different, often contradictory, purpose. This misrepresentation distorts the author’s intent, often causing harm or promoting ideologies from outside the text.
On the other hand Continuationist in the past have grossly abused the belief that spiritual gifts are for today.
Conservative Continuationist scholars teach that spiritual gifts are for today, and spiritual gifts are subservient to the canon of scripture. Continuationist scholars also teach no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. There are no new revelations and all spiritual gifts are to operate within the boundaries of scriptural canon. The church had all things in common and they continued in the apostles doctrine.
