ADORATION OF THE LION AND THE LAMB

ADORATION OF THE LION AND THE LAMB

By: Sam Storms

What is it about Jesus that makes him worthy of your adoration and praise? What
is it about Jesus that makes him irresistibly attractive? Why is he alone worthy
of your whole-hearted allegiance and love? Consider the portrait of Jesus in
symbolic language. In Revelation 5:5 he is called “the Lion of the tribe of
Judah,” but in Revelation 5:6 is also portrayed as the “Lamb” who had been
slain, though now standing, because alive. So, which is he? B...Read More ➔

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE 27 BOOKS IN OUR NT CONSTITUTE THE FINAL AND
AUTHORITATIVE “CANON” OF SCRIPTURE?

HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THE 27 BOOKS IN OUR NT CONSTITUTE THE FINAL AND
AUTHORITATIVE “CANON” OF SCRIPTURE?

By: Sam Storms

On what basis do we claim that the 27 books in our NT constitute the final and
authoritative “canon” of Scripture? The best treatment of this issue and answer
to our question is provided by Michael Kruger in his book, Canon Revisited
(Crossway). One view is that the canon is something determined by the Christian
community, either individually or corporately. Thus, canonicity is not something
inherent to any group of books but is something officially or autho...Read More

A POINT-BY-POINT RESPONSE TO THE FILM, “CESSATIONIST” – PART FIFTEEN

By: Sam Storms

Today is the final installment in my point-by-point response to the film,
Cessationist. I hope you have enjoyed and been edified by these fifteen
articles. Let me say once again what I said at the start. I welcome any and all
responses by cessationists who believe my interpretation of the biblical text is
mistaken. Until now, the responses I’ve received are little more than ad hominem
attacks against either me or some flamboyant and theologically misguided
charisma...Read More ➔

A POINT-BY-POINT RESPONSE TO THE FILM, “CESSATIONIST” – PART FOURTEEN

By: Sam Storms

In this article I’ll briefly address three issues that came up in the film.
First, at one point in the film Justin Peters criticizes prophetic ministry by
asserting that all charismatic prophets “failed to prophesy Covid coming.” He
evidently thinks that this discredits the reality of prophetic ministry in our
day. But where did he ever get the idea that a person could prophesy at will?
The reason no one prophesied the coming of the Covid pandemic is s...Read More ➔

A POINT-BY-POINT RESPONSE TO THE FILM, “CESSATIONIST” – PART THIRTEEN

By: Sam Storms

A primary target of the cessationists in this film is the spiritual gift of
speaking in tongues. As is true of virtually all cessationists, they insist that
all tongues speech is a human language spoken somewhere in the world but unknown
to the one who has received this gift. Of course, this is undoubtedly what we
find in Acts 2 on the day of Pentecost. But why must we assume that Acts 2 sets
the standard for what all tongues speech should be? Is there evidence
elsewhere...Read More ➔

A POINT-BY-POINT RESPONSE TO THE FILM, “CESSATIONIST” (PART TWELVE)

By: Sam Storms

On several occasions in the film, reference is made to the incident recorded in
Acts 21. Cessationists typically insist that Agabus was correct in his prophetic
word about Paul. Let’s look at the text. And when we had parted from them and
set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and
from there to Patara. And having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went
aboard and set sail. When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on...Read

A POINT-BY-POINT RESPONSE TO THE FILM, “CESSATIONIST” (PART ELEVEN)

By: Sam Storms

Yet another argument in the film, “Cessationist,” is that when miracles or
revelatory gifts occurred, they were always performed in the presence of
apostles. People other than the apostles were empowered to exercise miraculous
gifts only because the apostles themselves laid their hands on them. Since there
are no apostles today, those gifts associated with them have ceased. Does the NT
actually say this? Is there a verse in the NT that says one can only perf...Read

A POINT-BY-POINT RESPONSE TO THE FILM, “CESSATIONIST” (PART TEN)

By: Sam Storms

A common refrain in the film concerns the charge by cessationists that to
believe in the contemporary validity of revelatory and miraculous gifts of the
Spirit would undermine the sufficiency and authority of Scripture. For example,
here are just a few statements made in the film: “To believe in Sola Scriptura
is to be a cessationist.” We should not expect God to speak “because we have the
sufficient Word, the Bible.” “To believe in Sola ...Read More ➔
