How do we know the gifts of healing and tongues are true?
Answered in 1 source
The gifts of healing and tongues were genuine during the apostolic age, as confirmed through scriptures such as Acts 4:30 and 1 Corinthians 13:10.
The gifts of healing and tongues were authentic and used by the apostles to demonstrate the power of God and to verify the message of the gospel. In Acts 4:30, Peter emphasizes that miracles performed in Jesus’ name authenticate the apostles' preaching. However, these gifts were primarily given to the apostles and their immediate successors, as indicated in 1 Corinthians 13:10, which states that such gifts would cease when the perfect (the complete canon of Scripture) would come. Once the Scriptures were completed, the need for these signs diminished, as the gospel itself became the primary means through which believers are encouraged and strengthened.
