This is for Pilgrim


In the opening sentence of the article it said:
Quote
It is the historic position of the Reformed faith that tongues and prophecy had a very specific role to play in the early days of the Christian Church. Not only were they clearly sign gifts which were given to validate the message of the Apostles.

I have a question, that perhaps will be easy for you to answer, but I have struggled with.
If I understand what this quote is saying, it is basically saying that only the Apostles had these sign gifts. Yet it appears that in Acts 2:17-18 that sons and daughters will prophecy. In my mind, if the above quote is correct it would seem that it wasn’t so much that the Apostles were the only ones who prophesied etc…, but that in some way these events validated the message of the Apostles.
However, I am told by quite a few cessationists that these gifts were only used by the Apostles.
I hope that makes sense to you.

Acts 2:17-18 17” ‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
