Do the following two passages support the reformationist doctrine of cessationism? Cessationism: the belief that the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased with the apostolic age. *Matthew 12:38-40* >Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, 'Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.' But he answered them, 'An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but **no sign will be given** to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.' Luke 11:29-30 >When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, 'This generation is an evil generation. It seeks for a sign, but **no sign will be given** to it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.' Answers from the perspective of Cessation would be preferred.
