    Episode #22 - Cessationism 11 (Miracles in the Middle Ages)

    In this episode of Off The Record, Daniel Kolenda continues his series on "The Heresy of Cessationism" by delving into the historical development of modern cessationism, emphasizing its roots in Enlightenment philosophy and skepticism towards the supernatural. Benjamin Warfield, regarded as the pioneer of modern cessationism, is highlighted for basing his arguments more on historical critique than Scriptural exegesis.


    Kolenda challenges the notion of historical cessationism by pointing out the prevalence of reported miracles throughout church history in the Middle Ages. He also notes a shift in attitudes towards supernatural phenomena, particularly during the Protestant Reformation, suggesting a resurgence of Holy Spirit activity despite Calvinist leanings towards cessationism.

    In Episode 10 of the "The Heresy of Cessationism" series, Daniel delves deep into the examination of cessationism, dissecting arguments from theologians like Warfield. By scrutinizing the inconsistency in assessing biblical miracles versus contemporary testimonies, Kolenda challenges the rational basis of cessationist beliefs. He explores the philosophical underpinnings of David Hume's skepticism and advocates for a theological approach over a rationalist one. Ultimately, Kolenda asserts the unbiblical nature of modern cessationism, urging listeners to adopt a more scripturally grounded perspective.

    Episode #19 - Cessationism 8 (More Calvinist Than Calvin)

    In Episode 8 of "The Heresy of Cessationism" we delve into the ongoing debate about cessationism, focusing on the "Rare Miracle Hypothesis." Daniel traces the development of cessationist doctrine, highlighting the contrast between modern interpretations and the beliefs of early church leaders like Justin Martyr and Augustine. These historical figures, known for their belief in spiritual gifts and miracles, offer a stark contrast to today's cessationist views. The episode also reexamines the positions of Reformation figures such as Luther and Calvin, revealing a more open stance towards spiritual gifts than often assumed. This insightful exploration challenges listeners to rethink the cessation of spiritual gifts and miracles, setting the stage for deeper exploration in the series.

    Episode #18 - Cessationism - 7 (Miracle Workers)

    In this episode of Off The Record, Daniel delves into the intriguing theological debate surrounding the frequency of miracles in the Bible. The spotlight is on Cessationism, a belief that asserts miracles, particularly the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit, are rare or have ceased altogether. Contrary to this perspective, Kolenda takes a closer look at the Bible, arguing that miracles are woven into its narrative fabric, appearing on almost every page.


    He meticulously highlights passages from both the Old and New Testaments, illustrating the prevalence of divine interventions and supernatural occurrences. Exploring all the different stories of miraculous healings, supernatural transformations, and celestial interventions, Kolenda builds a compelling case that miracles are not confined to a particular era but are rather an integral part of the biblical narrative.

    In this episode of Off The Record, Daniel Kolenda continues his series on "The Heresy of Cessatioism" asking the question in part 4: "Has the gift of speaking in tongues ceased?" By dissecting key passages from 1 Corinthians 14, Daniel challenges the Cessationist belief that speaking in tongues was confined to the early church. Instead, he presents a compelling case for the continued relevance of this practice in the modern Christian context, highlighting its potential for personal spiritual growth and its place in the corporate life of the church.

    The Heresy of Cessationism - 3 (Has Prophecy Ceased?)

    In this episode of Off The Record, Daniel Kolenda continues his series on "The Heresy of Cessatioism" asking the question in part 3: "Has the gift of prophecy ceased?" He examines the differences between Old Testament and New Testament prophecy showing why the cessationist critique of modern prophetic ministry misses the mark. He argues that cessationism's strict standards do not align with the nuanced understanding of prophecy presented in the New Testament. Most importantly, he challenges the idea that all prophetic activity ceased after the apostolic age, emphasizing the ongoing importance of God's guidance and revelation in the lives of believers.
