Clearly, there are ministry gifts (offices, like Pastor, administrator, helps, etc) which have not ceased; and there are sign gifts and revelation gifts, which have ceased because the things they signified (the authority of the Apostles, the inclusion of Gentile believers in the Covenant, judgement upon the generation of unbelieving Jews who betrayed and murdered God's Son) have come to pass, and the message of the Apostles authenticated by signs. Those gifts which have served their purpose have ceased now that their purpose has been served.
"Throwing the baby out with the bathwater" is an expression all too often used to justify assigning a wholly different purpose to sign-gifts than the single purpose they served (in both Testaments) before the close of the Canon.
