How do we know the gifts of the Spirit are not for today?
Answered in 1 source
The gifts of the Spirit were unique to the apostolic age and served to authenticate the gospel; their counterfeits today indicate a departure from true biblical practice.
In the sermon, it is explained that the so-called 'apostolic gifts' witnessed in Acts were meant to establish the early church and serve as signs confirming the message of the gospel. Peter explicitly states in Acts 2 that what the crowd witnessed on Pentecost was a fulfillment of Joel's prophecy, showcasing God's sovereignty in salvific history. This does not translate into an ongoing expectation for the same manifestations of the Spirit today, as Scripture warns of counterfeits and deceptions that may arise in the last days. Thus, the authentic work of the Holy Spirit centers on revealing Christ and His gospel rather than the sensational practices often associated with modern 'Pentecostal' movements.
