Discussed from What We Believe?
“Therewere two kinds of gifts given totheearly church. Miraculous gifts of divine revelation and healing were given temporarily intheapostolic era forthepurpose of confirmingtheauthenticity oftheapostles’ message (Hebrews 2:3-4;2 Corinthians 12:12). Ministering gifts were given to equip believers for edifying one another. WiththeNew Testament revelation now complete, Scripture becomesthesole test oftheauthenticity of a man’s message, and confirming gifts of a miraculous nature are no longer necessary to validate a man or his message (1 Corinthians 13:8-12). Miraculous gifts can even be counterfeited by Satan to deceive even believers (1 Corinthians 13:13-14:12;Revelation 13:13-14).Theonly gifts in operationtodayare those non-revelatory equipping gifts given for edification (Romans 12:6-8). No one possessesthegift of healingtoday, but God does hear and answertheprayer of faith and will answer in accordance with His own perfect will forthesick, suffering, and afflicted (Luke 18:1-6;John 5:7-9;2 Corinthians 12:6-10;James 5:13-16;1 John 5:14-15).”
