Re: Gift of healing...
No, I would never just assume that because Charles Spurgeon believed something, it must be true. I've seen disagreements I have with Spurgeon. I didn't even know he was a cessationist until fairly recently, long after I had studied the issue, prayed about it, etc.
I was really just thinking about how you seem to think I will go to hell over believing the way I do, and that prompted me to think of other people that I knew who were cessationists. I was just reading more about Charles Spurgeon's life and ministry the other night and so he popped in my mind.
So don't worry. I test even my favorite preachers. That's one thing I really learned from being in a cult for many years. That's maybe the best thing I learned. Test it all! Don't just blindly trust anyone! I also learned how deceived people can be, and yet be so very confident about it. I know that's what you think about me now. And that's also what I think about you. :)
