Spiritual revelation is required to believe spiritual truths

[The Biblicist]

Transition period from what to what? ... no choiches to choiches?

Sure the Day of Pentecost was special ... God was jump-starting the church with a BANG!
So what? ... New things have to start somewhere, somehow, and even ... drum-roll ... some place with someone.

Once da choiches were set up, nothing was to change after that.
Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers ... what's so terrible about dis organization?
Kapishe (anything at all)?

God is not responsible for how the church operates today.
He gives gifts ... Satan deceives ... man is an idiot ... so, what has changed?

If you an Bibliotech had the baptism, youse guys wud haf some spiritual discernment.
But, sorry, no cigar!

You have the same problems as Rome does. The apostolic office was foundational and the requirements to qualify for that office are no longer possible.

Moreover, the sign gifts were transitional from Old Testament Scriptures to New Testament Scriptures as they were given in regard to the comfirmation and completion of the Biblical canon (Isa. 8:16-18; Heb. 2:3-4,13).

The gift of tongues was a special prophesied sign gift to the Jewish nation that Jesus was the Messiah (1 Cor. 14:21-22; Isa. 28).
