How do we know spiritual gifts are not in operation today?
Answered in 2 sources
Spiritual gifts are believed to have ceased because they were specific to the early church and the apostles were the only ones with the authority to impart them.
The cessation of spiritual gifts, as discussed in the sermon, is rooted in the historical understanding that the New Testament apostles had a unique role in the early church. In Acts 8, the apostles were the ones who could impart spiritual gifts through the laying on of hands. Once the last apostle died, this ability ended because there was no longer anyone to transfer these gifts. The reasoning is that these gifts were necessary for establishing the church and spreading the gospel in its infancy, but as the canon of scripture was completed, what was in part has been done away with according to 1 Corinthians 13:10. Thus, the gifts were a temporary provision in God's redemptive plan.
