Daniel Kolenda: Off the Record – Details, episodes & analysis

In the final episode of the Off The Record Podcast, Daniel Kolenda continues to delve into the history of the Holy Spirit's movement within the Church, focusing on the period from the Reformation to the 20th century. The episode highlights the origins of the modern Pentecostal movement back to the famous Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles in 1906. Led by William J. Seymour, the revival saw manifestations of speaking in tongues, healings, and widespread spiritual renewal. With as many as 700 million people now identifying as Pentecostal or Charismatic, this movement has been instrumental in fulfilling the Great Commission, spreading the Gospel message worldwide and revitalizing Christianity. Ultimately, Daniel concludes this series by celebrating the ongoing presence and work of the Holy Spirit, affirming the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and the continuation of miraculous signs and wonders in the Church.

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.

Cessationists often link the end of the Apostolate to the cessation of the miraculous gifts.

Cessationism is the belief that the "miraculous gifts" of the Spirit ceased with the end of the "Apostolic Age." In this Episode of OFF THE RECORD, Daniel Kolenda begins a series aimed at "The Heresy of Cessationism" prompted by the "Cessationist Conference" which was held the week prior.  In Part One of this series entitled "The Scriptures" Daniel begins the conversation by having a look at the common cessationist proof text. Then he contrasts the weak and meager Biblical support for cessationism to the abundant and compelling Scriptural evidence that the gifts continue.  Among the cessationist proof text Daniel adresses are: - 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 - Ephesians 4:11 - Romans 12:6-8 - 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 - Hebrews 2:3-4  - Ephesians 2:20 - Jude 1:3 - 2 Corinthians 12:12 Among the texts Daniel addresses that refute cessationism are: - 1 Corinthians 14:1-5 - Joel 2:28-29 (which was quoted in Acts 2:17-18)  - 1 Corinthians 12:7-11 - Mark 16:17-18 - 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 - 1 Corinthians 14:39 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
