Storms on the Spirit

I've had a few questions/thoughts since the Sam Storms conference on the Spirit. One question comes from Justin C's notes on the Friday night session (that I missed).

Here is JC's note on Storms' third point:

3. We quench the Spirit when we suppress or legislate the gifts He gives. Cessationism is quenching the Spirit. We need all of the gifts of the Spirit and not just a select few. (emphasis mine)

My questions concerning this are, Did he address the supposed gift of Apostleship? and if so, What did he say about its legitimacy for today?

Other questions I had were about his view of Jesus' "laying aside" of his divine attributes while on earth. I wasn't exactly comfortable with everything he said in that session. Did Jesus lay aside the divine character as well as his attributes? Does Storms' view open up the possibility of Jesus disobeying the Father? What are your thoughts about what Storms said concerning this?

Those are two areas where I had questions. Do you have any insight into them? Do you have any questions/comments of your own about the conference?

Need a Sermon for Father's Day?

Check out this video of James Merritt at the Pastor's Conference of the SBC.

Here's the link he gave: Free Father's Day Sermon, Parenting 101 (sorry, you'll have to login to get it).

Anyone up for a trip to D.C.?

I'm considering going to this conference in late October. Anyone interested?

By the way, an entire list of good conferences taking place this year can be found here.
