Wes the article that you recommended is good but the opening paragraph could be better.

Our answer to the question of whether revelation continues (the charismatic) or not (the cessationist) should not divide us in terms of fellowship. We are all baptised by one Spirit and members of one body (1 Cor 12:13).

I think this man has lost his fire at least with that statement. Fellowship with people who get revelations outside of the Bible? Below is something that was written by Homer C. Hoeksema in "The Voice of Our Fathers" concerning the Canons of Dordt (emphasis mine) which condemned arminianism for those who don't know. The qoute doesn't exactly fit but I think most people will get the point

Quote
. . . Still more, the Canons very specifically define the errors, point out theire danger in many instances, and expressly oppose them with the scriptures in hand.
Objections are sometimes raised against this aspect of our Canons. In fact, there are some who accept only the positive part of the Canons. There are those who say that to be positive is suffient, and that to mention and condemn specifically certain errors is unnecessary. They are usually the same people who never care to hear any rejection of errors in the preaching of the Word. And especially when Our Canons reject the errors of the Arminians at length, and sometimes do so in a very strong and condemnatory language, these people who have been polluted by the false notion of politeness and tolerance of our age and by the silly conception of brotherly love object that an articulate rejection of errors offends people, drives them away from the church instead of winning them, and can serve no good purpose in the church of Christ.
