Ted S: public sin should be called to account publicly

Barry: Acts 2:17 is a place where the Apostle Peter quotes a prophecy from Joel and that prophecy is fulfilled in Acts 2. Can you cite a passage where “these things will be for all time”?

Btw, on the basis of Scripture, we have no problem calling millions of people “out of order”.

We are told in Acts 2:17“In the last days, God says,I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy,your young men will see visions,your old men will dream dreams". The Scriptures also tell us that these things will be for all time so it is problematic to say that he and many millions of others are out of order.

What about Matthew 18? Huh? Huh? Huh? Perhaps we will now get to read a follow-up column by Anthony Bradley in World Magazine accusing Turk of sinful "libel"? Horrors upon horrors!

You can see my name here. I collaborate with our pastor, Scott Jarrett. I have interacted with you a bit on twitter @joshcaucutt. Thanks for stopping by - We are rooting for someone of your stature to really take Mr. Driscoll to task . . . and hope to write a series of posts on the subject soon.

His comparison of men like me to atheists and deists just proves how absurd his trajectory on this issue is. He needs to repent -- and he needs to get a grip on actual cessationist theology rather than an easy-target straw man. Thanks for noticing me. :-) Um, I’m not sure Mark Driscoll ever liked me.

If he has indeed stated (he has) that a natural progression of a cessationist position is athiesm (he did), he has stated that this is more than a "mere doctrinal" issue; rather he has elevated it to a salvific issue, has he not? Mr. Driscoll - perhaps you heard wrong that day. Perhaps it wasn't God that spoke to you, and told you to start a church. Perhaps it was Joseph Smith....or maybe, just maybe you were talking to yourself. Perhaps every audible voice since that date has not been God...I urge you sir, to repent. “Can a biblical Christian be neutral on this issue? – well, even Driscoll would say “of course not,” right?
