Bible Note: Dear Brad, Thank you for sharing. I've not read of these categorizations per se. However, each sound very familiar. Consequently, I suspect that I've encountered them elsewhere. Labels are so handy. They are like the fulcrums and levers of the linguistic world. God doesn't need them, of course, nevertheless they are of His own invention, early in creation, for our benefit (see Genesis 1:5). The reason you're thinking of Cessationism as fragmented is because you are looking at it from a Continuationist perspective. You see, Continuationism and Cessationism occupy obvious extremes within a spectrum of possibilities. Any one of the other views, except Full Cessationism, might be considered forms of partial Continuationism. I've been meaning to go back and see how Warfield and, more recently, Grudem have touched on the question. Off to bed, I'm afraid. Thank you, again, for sharing. In Him, Doc |
