Clay,I think the article you posted represents both COC/SOF and cessationism in general quite well. I'm not a cessationist, as you know. Thanks for the post.
Clay's response:
We're not cessationist Ray.
Were Christians JUST like you are my brother ... in Christ.
Why must you "label" us with a divisive term such as "censationist"
I hate terms that attemt to divide the precious body of Christ.
I hate those terms when "WE" use them, and we do, and I hate it when
