RefBap,<br>I have only heard a couple of Piper's sermons and in them he stressed that we need to delight in God. Perhaps that is not a bad idea because it is easy for some reformed people to be very intellectual about their faith and forget our first love. I don't know enough about Piper to know if it is fair to call him a charismatic or not. <br>Because of the article in Tabletalk, I would think that Grudem must believe that the gift of prophecy is for today in some way that must add to or contradict Scripture, or the author wouldn't have said Grudem's book denied sola Scriptura. Actually in the article in Tabletalk, the actual quote about Grudem's book that the author of the article used is from Dr. O. Palmer Robinson's book The Final Word. <br>I wonder what exactly is the gift of prophecy and is it for today or not? I have heard it defined that it is almost identical to the gift of preaching. I assume from those comments about Grudem's book that Grudem is talking about new revelation. <br>Susan
