(Though I don't always agree with him.) It perhaps is worth noting that despite the fact that Gaffin is a cessationist, he does actually believe that there is a sense in which the gift of prophecy does continue today. He also gains extra credibility for not trying to make the "perfect" in 1 Corinthians 13:10 mean the completion of the canon, but accepts that is means the return of Christ. I don't have the book to hand, but I'm sure I can find the quote if you need it. If that regard it would be interesting to ask him if he agreed with the quote from Eusebius that, “<a href="http://www.4-14.org.uk/index.php/archives/119-prophetic-gift-should-continue" rel="nofollow">The prophetic gift should continue in all the Church until the final coming</a>”, which I've just blogged on.

It’s one from of the champions of cessationism, Eusebius. There have been several posts in blogosphere over the last few months giving the impression that the Church Fathers’ were almost entirely cessationist. That is only partly true. Notably absent from the discussion is the impact the Montanism had on the early church. [...] [...] The quote that heads this article is not a quote from me.

It is especially helpful to note that cessation relates to revelatory gifts. I would encourage more summaries of first class Reformed literature like this. Camden:
