The gifts of speaking in tongues, healing, receiving visions, performing miracles, casting out demons, and prophesying have returned on a massive scale in the last 40 years. The powerful miraculous signs of New Testament times are being experienced again; or maybe not? Can the “gifts” of today be compared to the signs and wonders of the early Church? They are the same? Why has two thousand years of Church history been lived without them, including the great periods of reformation and revival? What was the purpose of these gifts in New Testament times? Were they designed to be permanent in the ongoing life of the Church? This book provides clear biblical answers to all of these questions.
