Timothy
This highlights a common tendency in the church. From a desire to protect from error, an extra biblical stance is taken. This protects from a dangerous error at the gate, but brings in a habit that will gradually disfigure the church. This particular attempt to protect the church slowly led to the papacy and patriarchs. Cessationism leads to naturalistic churches, etc. noble sentiments exists, but it is like running with an injury:you favor one leg to avoid hurting the injured leg more, but this destroys your running form and leads to other injuries in the future.
