505 0 $aPart 1: The illusion introduced. The longing for signs and wonders -- Testing today's miracles -- What are the greater works? -- Today's gifts are not the same -- The purpose of the gifts has changed -- Is the Word of God complete? -- Tongues were never for personal benefit -- Should we personally seek the gifts? -- Bypassing the mind and the Word -- Is the Holy Spirit in it?
505 0 $aPart 2: Answering the question. What about the signs of Mark 16? -- Is not the command to speak in tongues still binding? -- Why should extremists discredit the gifts? -- Why not return to early church life? -- Does God not heal today? -- Surely we must exorcise demons? -- If preaching is inspired, why not prophecy? -- Do not the gifts continue until Christ comes? -- What is wrong with tongues in personal devotions? -- Are you saying the gifts are from Satan? -- Miracle workers besides apostles? -- Conclusion.
520 $aNow with more answers to questions asked by people investigating the arguments, this veteran book contends for the Biblical position on the gifts that prevailed for nearly 2,000 years before the charismatic movement came along. Here is the dynamic teaching of the Spirit that sustained true churches and believers through dark and bright years of history, through the Reformation, through the Puritan era, through the time of great Confessions of Faith, through repeated awakenings and revivals, and through the worldwide growth of the modern missionary movement. Here is the case for authentic, Biblical spiritual life. -- Publisher (back cover).
