Actually, cessationism ONLY MEANS that the gifts ended. Hence the term Cessationist. However, the vast majority of cessationists do believe that scripture alone speaks to us today.
And yes, you and everyone else has been defending this very thing.
> I dare say most on this list do not accept this definition.
Every post you've made has either suggested it or openly proclaimed it. Ed said it explicitly, as did George. Oh yes, the scriptures alone has been the basis of this entire discussion.
But technically, again, cessationism only means the gifts ended.
> I do not accept it.
ALl of your previous posts say otherwise.
But I will accept your claim here and simply write off everything else you've said concerning the scriptures ALONE speaking.
