» Feature Writer Brian Tubbs - Exceptions

In response to Supernatural posted by Migisi:


Pink frequently alludes to the doctrine of dispensationalism, and that really does play into this issue. I believe the "signs and wonders" that accompanied the apostles and the early church have, for all practical purposes, ceased. God can and does still work miracles, but not through us in the same way that He did through Peter, Paul, etc. Explaining that belief will require more time than I have right now, so I'll simply assert it for the time being.

That being the case, I don't believe Christians today should seek after those "signs and wonders." I do believe (though I have never experienced or observed) in demonic possession - certainly in demonic activity. So, the only "exception" to my above statement would be that God does call some Christians to be uniquely suited to deal with that. I am not one of them, however, nor do I seek to be. So, we're out of my frame of reference and experience at this point.
