Daniel Kolenda: Off the Record episodes

  • Episode #14 - The Heresy of Cessationism - 3 (Has Prophecy Ceased?)

    In this episode of Off The Record, Daniel Kolenda continues his series on "The Heresy of Cessatioism" asking the question in part 3: "Has the gift of prophecy ceased?"

    He examines the differences between Old Testament and New Testament prophecy showing why the cessationist critique of modern prophetic ministry misses the mark.
    He argues that cessationism's strict standards do not align with the nuanced understanding of prophecy presented in the New Testament. Most importantly, he challenges the idea that all prophetic activity ceased after the apostolic age, emphasizing the ongoing importance of God's guidance and revelation in the lives of believers.

  • Episode #13 - Cessationism - 2 (A Cascade of Lies)

  • Episode #12 - Cessationism - 1 (The Bible is Continuationist)
    Cessationism is the belief that the "miraculous gifts" of the Spirit ceased with the end of the "Apostolic Age." In this Episode of OFF THE RECORD, Daniel Kolenda begins a series aimed at "The Heresy of Cessationism" prompted by the "Cessationist Conference" which was held the week prior. 
    In Part One of this series entitled "The Scriptures" Daniel begins the conversation by having a look at the common cessationist proof text. Then he contrasts the weak and meager Biblical support for cessationism to the abundant and compelling Scriptural evidence that the gifts continue. 
    Among the cessationist proof text Daniel adresses are:
    - 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
    - Ephesians 4:11
    - Romans 12:6-8
    - 1 Corinthians 13:8-13
    - Hebrews 2:3-4 
    - Ephesians 2:20
    - Jude 1:3
    - 2 Corinthians 12:12
    Among the texts Daniel addresses that refute cessationism are:
    - 1 Corinthians 14:1-5
    - Joel 2:28-29 (which was quoted in Acts 2:17-18) 
    - 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
    - Mark 16:17-18
    - 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21
    - 1 Corinthians 14:39

  • Episode #9 - Are there Apostles in the Church Today?
    In this episode of Off the Record, Daniel Kolenda revisits the topic of modern day apostles (as promised) from his previous podcast about the New Apostolic Reformation. While confronting the question, "Are there apostles in the church today?" Daniel also addresses important related topics. He provides a short primer on what apostles are and what they do. He talks about the potential for abuse of authority in the church and addresses the important concern about protecting the closed cannon of Scripture. He provides some helpful insight into the debate over the cessation of miraculous gifts and provides a clear explanation for the different kinds of apostles described in Scripture. After watching this episode, viewers will have a new appreciation for the nuance surrounding this subject and a balanced, Biblical understanding of what the Bible has to say about the apostolic gifting.
