A glance at the Cessationist/ Continualist Issue

Well, it seems that Dan J. Phillips has started a nice 'war' with Adrain Warnock over the Cessationalist/ Continualist debate (whether the sign gifts are for today or not) at the Pyromanaics blog. OK, not exactly. The current debate is still skimming the surface in a sense, as they don't seek to prove or disprove either theory, but only certain aspects of Continualism. Anyway, I think that the 'war' is too good to pass by in silence. Here are links to the blog posts:

Red herring: Tongue of Angels by Dan J. Phillips
Sufficient and Efficient Grace - Spurgeon, Tongues and the Toronto Blessing (Response by Adrain Warnock)

Tongues across the water: response to Adrain:
(part 1)
(part 2)
(part 3)

and part 4 yet to come.

Oh, and just FYI, I am not supporting either theory at the moment. For those who want to know, I am tentatively a partial cessationist, no thanks to the many stupid, ridiculous, unbiblical and sometimes even heretical things Charismatics have been doing since they splintered off from mainline Evangelicalism quite a long time ago.
