I just read Vern Poythress's booklet "What are Spiritual Gifts". His concept of spiritual gifts functioning today in a way that is of lesser authority but analogous (fitting, for a Van Tillian!) to the spiritual gifts of the apostles and prophets of the OT and NT was very interesting. It seemed to provide a very helpful way to think about the continuing occurrence of the spiritual gifts of the NT in a way that does not infringe upon the authority or finality of the canon of Scripture. I was surprised to see him come down on cautious continuationist viewpoint, but it made a lot of sense.
Has there been any interaction with his position from others on either side? This is the first time I've heard this line of argumentation relating to spiritual gifts.
