What am I missing here? What point are you trying to make?

(Jesus did not put an artificial 1st century-3rd century time frame on the manifestations of the Holy Ghost, as some Baptists and others try to do.

He said these signs will follow his believers. Period. That is, the church. There are "believers" now in the 21st century just as there were in the 1st century. The New Testament church continues until Jesus comes back for his bride. This harmonizes with what Paul said. There is no contradiction at all. )

I wonder why Paul didn't just make it clear what he meant!
