(Jerusalem)
Craig Keener asks this question in his wonderful book Spirit Hermeneutics: Reading Scripture in Light of Pentecost.
"What would happen if we read 1 Corinthians 14 sympathetically,
as not merely a corrective for first-century Corinthian Christians
but also as Paul’s counterappeal that depicted an ideal way of doing church
(14:5–6, 13–19, 24–33, 39–40) to which we can also aspire?
I believe that such an approach would challenge
the practical cessationism of most of our churches
regarding public exercise of most spiritual gifts (except that of pastor-teacher)."
P. 275
