Sure... just wanted some example(s) so I was clear on what you wrote.

From that perspective, true it is that some will at least give lipservice to inspiration, infallibility and inerrancy but charge that Scripture is insufficient in and of itself for NT Christians. Of course, we both know that Scripture itself testifies to its own complete sufficiency in all matters of faith and practice.

And quickly, I am one of those who hold that the events at Pentecost in Acts 2 and following were a fulfillment of OT prophesy that ushered in the new covenant with a new spirituality and a new univerality. But unlike many, being a 'soft' cessationist, I hold that all the ecstatic gifts were given temporarily for the main purpose of emphasizing that the new covenant Church was to be comprised of both Jews and Gentiles, i.e., to build the initial foundation upon the Rock after which they were no longer needed and thus taken away.
