yes ... once the word of God was validated ... you have Apostles sent out specifically by Jesus capitol "A" .... and then apostles sent out by the church "a" .... hear the audio

and he (God) gave some apostles .. and some prophets .. and some evangelists .. and some teaching pastors .. for the perfecting of the saints .. for the work of the ministry .. for the edifying of the body of Christ .. till we all come in the unity of the faith .. and of the knowledge of the Son of God .. to a perfect (complete) man .. to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ . . . .

Yes, the bible is pretty clear about it but what stirred me to create this debate was the false church that is rapidly outgrowing the true biblical model. Sad really.

Sure some gifts were given to people other than the apostles, but I don't think they have continued into today.

Your argument belongs on the left side. I believe they aren't with us today... these gifts.

But I don't think that the spiritual gifts stopped with the apostles..... Is there not a middle point of the spiritual gifts not stopping with the apostles but not being here today?

Side: Cessationism

People who believe today can be given gifts. Gifts are wonderful.
