Continuationism

Continuationism is the belief that spiritual gifts described in the Bible, such as prophecy, healing, and speaking in tongues, continue to operate today just as they did in biblical times. Followers see these gifts as active and relevant, believing they can occur through the Holy Spirit’s power in modern Christian life and church practices. This view contrasts with cessationism, which holds that certain supernatural gifts ceased after the early church era. Continuationists emphasize the ongoing presence and relevance of the Holy Spirit's work, encouraging believers to seek and recognize spiritual manifestations today.
