biblical-basis protestantism charismatic speaking-in-tongues cessationism

                          Cessationism  is the belief held by some protestants that the miraculous gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as prophecy, do not occur in present day.  The general thinking is that these gifts "ceased" at the completion of the canon, closing any new revelation.

What is the basis for this belief?  I'm interested in Biblical, logical, empirical and historical arguments.
