He invested a lot of space also to the ceremonial law.

But when the ceremonial law was abolished, there was very clear teaching that it was abolished. Galatians, Hebrews, the Gospels, Colossians. That is not true for cessation of gifts (ie, tongues and prophecy.)

I think it's quite clear, but you may have to look through those articles I suggested to see why I say so.

I will re-read those articles. May I suggest another resource for you? Try reading the Four Views book by IVP on Charismatic Gifts. Read especially the Third Wave View by Sam Storms. In my estimation, he absolutely dismantles the cessationist view (as well as the Pentecostal view) in one clean conscise article. Also note, his responses to each of the other views.

No interest. I was Pentecostal. I've heard the arguments in favor of noncessationism. In my view, the biblically-defined function of those gifts—to attest to the authority of the ministry of the apostles and to announce judgement on Israel and the ingathering of the Gentiles—destroys all the arguments for their continuance.
