In Part Five of “The Heresy of Cessationism”, Daniel Kolenda looks at the gifts of miracles and specifically healing. Daniel shows how much of what cessationists claim to show that the gift of healing has ceased is based on extra-bliblical assumptions. He then offers a more Biblical perspective on what healing was like in the early church.
