The Scripture is complete, and the Christian faith has been conclusively revealed and defined. False religions add to, revise, and contradict the Scripture, its words and doctrines. Charismatic revelations should never add to, revise, or contradict Scripture. If anyone says that they should, then he is a heretic. He should be confronted and even excommunicated. But this has nothing to do with the idea that God speaks to his people today. Cessationists commit exactly this damnable heresy of adding to, revising, and contradicting Scripture. They impose the doctrine of cessationism upon Scripture in their pretense to protect the Scripture. They are the worst heretics.

The Christian faith has been “once for all” revealed and defined (Jude 3). This does not contradict the Bible’s own assertion that God would grant various kinds of revelations to people (Acts 2:17-18, 1 Corinthians 14:26). Rather, it “once for all” guarantees these revelations, and the certainty of various kinds of private knowledge (Romans 8:16, Revelation 2:17). This is integral to the gospel, permanently declared and promised in what we could call the first apostolic sermon (Acts 2:39). God has “once for all” declared that he would actively speak to Christians by his Spirit. He has said it. No one can change this. No one has any basis or any right to declare otherwise. Anyone who denies this has allowed tradition and unbelief to suppress the very Scripture that he claims to defend. He is a religious hypocrite and charlatan.

The doctrine that miracles in general and prophecy in particular threaten the integrity of Scripture is one of the most successful and destructive theological scams in history. It makes the cessationists look like they are heroes when in fact they are the villains. The assertion that there is no more prophecy cannot protect the idea that Scripture is complete. God alone is the author of Scripture, not the prophets, not the apostles, and not prophecy. If the notion that God has stopped writing Scripture is insufficient to ensure that Scripture is complete, then adding the assumption that prophecy has ceased would not change anything, because the writing of Scripture never depended on prophecy in the first place.

The cessationists think that God’s providence in having stopped writing Scripture is not enough to ensure that Scripture is complete, but we must stop miracles and the gifts of the Spirit as well. However, God had been the only actual author of Scripture — it came directly from his very breath (2 Timothy 3:16). Therefore, according to their way of thinking, the only way to ensure that Scripture is complete is for God to die. The doctrine of cessationism needs God to die. As long as God lives, the doctrine is entirely pointless. As long as God lives, it is irrelevant whether there ever was such a thing as prophecy or whether prophecy continues. According to their way of thinking, God is the greatest enemy to Scripture, not the charismatics. If God is dead, then of course there would be no prophecy, and the charismatics would be even less relevant to the issue. They have never been the problem. The problem is either God, or the cessationists. Cessationism is demonic because in order for it to make any sense or carry any relevance, God has to die. This is the master heresy, the ultimate anti-Christ doctrine.
