Sam Storms on Spiritual Gifts, Tongues, and Cessationism vs Continuationism | Reformark Media

Описание: In this episode of the Reformark Media Show, we sit down with Sam Storms pastor, theologian, scholar, and one of the most respected Continuationist in the modern church. Storms opens up about his journey from hardline Sensationist to biblically convinced Continuationist, the role of spiritual gifts, the difference between apostolic authority and congregational prophecy, and why he believes tongues, prophecy, and healing continue today.

We dive deep into:
• Why Storms abandoned Sensationist after 15 years in ministry
• The Scriptures that convinced him spiritual gifts continue
• Tongues in Acts 2, 10, and 19 foreign languages or something else?
• How to understand modern prophecy without threatening the closed canon
• Why Paul speaks in tongues “more than them all”
• The difference between apostles and apostolic gifting
• Abuses of the gifts and how to practice them biblically and responsibly
• Whether eschatology influences your view of the gifts
• Why charismatic chaos doesn’t disprove Scripture
• How God uses miracles today

We also talk about academic influences, Baptist culture, and the tensions between theological tribes.
This is the most generous, honest, and biblically driven conversation you’ll hear on the gifts debate.

Stick around for the speed round it gets hilarious.
