An infographic on the doctrine of cessationism. How it fits into the larger debate on miracles, and its consequent effect on the doctrine of tongues.

Any thoughts on cessation and praying for healing? Are prayers for cancer and injury recovery contrary to cessation doctrine?
Just found your blog. I like!
Thanks in advance.
At least from both Chrysostom and Augustine’s perspectives, miracles were less but not non-existent. Chrysostom thought people were preoccupied with miracles and that it thwarted personal development. He still believed in exorcisms and healings. Augustine similarly had a limited miracles scope and later had to reinforce in one writing that miracles still happen to deter followers from believing he was a full cessationist.
