The distinction between the ordinary and extraordinary gifts of the Holy Spirit, Proved to have no Foundation in the New Testament. In which is made appear, That in the Apostolic Age, the Holy Spirit given to every Believer in Christ, in its Operation in them, was after a miraculous Manner; and therefore the Promises of the Spirit, in the New Testament, are confined wholly to them at that Time; consequently Believers in Christ, in After-Ages, are not included therein. He that answereth a Matter before he heareth it, it is Folly and Shame unto him. Prov. xviii. 13. Whether there be Prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be Tongues, they shall cease; whether there be Knowledge, it shall vanish away. 1 Cor. xiii. 8. Search the Scriptures. - Prove all Things, hold fast that which is good. 1 Thes. v. 21. By an impartial hand.
