And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even upon the menservants and maidservants in those days, I will pour out my spirit.
Joel 2:28-29
Instead of the usual cessationist arguments against contemporary charismatic gifts, e.g. arguments of the form that it is no longer needed with once the apostles had established the churches, I think it may be safer to make a mass democratisation argument instead.
What I mean is this: Presumably the ability to "prophesise" e.g. speak and hear God's Word and the ability to petition for miracles, used to be monopolised by those specially gifted like the apostles and those they blessed or laid their hands on. Thus in the beginning of the Church, the founders of the Church had a monopoly on such gifts to put it on a sure foundation.
But once the apostles passed, then as per Joel prophecy, the Spirit continues to expand to more and more people, the apostolic legacy is already secured. Thus the Spirit is poured on everyone, and all baptised Christians have access to the Holy Spirit to be able to hear and speak God’s word to each other (prophesy) and petition for miracles before the throne of grace.
It seems safer as such to ground the passing of prophets and miracle workers, as well as ostensible miraculous act, on Joel's prophecy of a mass democratisation, that everyone now has access to it and we shouldn't be looking to special men or women for the same, than to just attempt to rationalise their cessation after the fact with post apostolic rationalisation.
