Gifts of the Spirit Explained: with Dr. Sam Storms

In this episode of The Remnant Radio, Dr. Sam Storms, pastor of Bridgeway Church, came on the show to discuss his new book "a comprehensive guide to the gifts of the Spirit". In this video, you will find compelling arguments for continuationism, persuasive articulation for modern-day prophecy, and an endorsement of modern-day apostolic ministry!!!

We love Dr. Storms, he is one of our heroes and we are always thrilled to have him with us.

Great discussion. He made some really convincing points, some of which I've never heard before.

Thank you so much for this discussion, guys. I was saved in 2016 into a Charismatic Church. This channel and your discussions has been instrumental for me. These discussions have made me want to research in scripture more, and it makes me feel less alone in figuring out where I stand on the Charissmatic---->Cessationist spectrum. I agree that there can be an imbalance in the Charismatic side where it's less critical thinking, and that on the Cessastionist side, the passion and love is lacking. I pray that as Christ's church we can learn to dialogue better so that new Christians dont have to feel like they need to figure it out alone.

One more thing on apostles… One of the things I have noticed just by observation and from the apostles in Scripture is that they seem to be able to move in and out of the different ministry gifts. You can see Paul ministering as a profit through revelation, an evangelist in winning souls, pastoral care, and obviously he was a teacher as he was a theologian. You can see it with apostolic gifts of today. Some may have strengths and weaknesses, but you can see a variety of gifts in them working together. They seem to be able to wear multiple hats.

The first thing I thought when I went to a Pentecostal Church was, "Wow, these people are rude, emotional, and not very smart." You will have to forgive me, because I was only 18 years old, just out of high school, and I had never been to a Protestant Church before. The first Protestant Church I went to (Assembly of God) scared the daylights out of me. They were also rude to me. This was a little Church way out in the country. Later I went to a larger "Assemblies" Church and they were more like a quieter Evangelical Church. I guess they are all different.

Just to offer some clarity on Agabus in Acts 21:11-12. It is the Spirit fortelling through the prophet what is going to happen to Paul, the man. However in verse 12 it is the believers who urge Paul not to go to Jerusalem. "This is what the Holy Spirit says: 'In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.' that's all the Spirit says through Agabus. The Holy Spirit gives no direction in these words.

Great interview! Great responses to difficult questions! I've subscribed. :)

Regarding apostles consider Acts 14:14 “But when the apostles BARNABAS and Paul heard this…” is an interesting scripture. I didn’t quote the whole verse but in greater context this is after they were both sent out in Acts 13. They were not sent out by mistake and a good study of Acts 13 and 14 shows BARNABAS and Paul was sent out.

It isn't possible to have a relationship with God for one minute without supernatural intervention. God doesn't relate to us mind to mind - he relates to us Spirit to spirit. So any experience we have of God in relationship with him is of the nature of prophecy - it is the Holy Spirit either giving us words through his counsel - or experience of those words through his presence - about himself. So then we have to ask - what is cessationism? It would involve believing that God continues to supernaturally speak to us every minute of every day - but only about us and him - never about anyone else. So for example he could never say to us "don't be impatient with your brother - he's short tempered because he has been mistreated" because the two would have come together.

Speaking as a whole cessationists don't only differ about the gifts of the Spirit - they will to varying degrees have different beliefs about the nature of the way that God relates to us personally.

I think the church's take on "Old Testament prophecy" is too narrow. Phillip's daughters and the prophets at Corinth, for instance, clearly were doing something different from what we know of what Isaiah did, because we don't have any of their words in Scripture like we do of Isaiah. But we don't have the words of all of the Old Testament prophets in Scripture, either! And there are others for whom we have some words related more incidentally -- as part of a narrative *about* them, rather than as direct "thus says Yahweh" (and an implication that a lot more of what they did is probably not recorded in Scripture.) Huldah. Miriam. Nathan. The other prophets mentioned in connection with Elijah and/or Elisha. Etc. They also had the Urim and Thummim as a means of direct revelation regarding how a person or the nation should operate in a given setting. The *purpose* of this type of revelation was more narrow and personal than the "for all men of all ages" revelation of Scripture. This was *always* a distinct function, even in the OT.

Dr. Storms say a lot: "I think" "I think", does he not know if he is writing books and has a PhD?
