Ah, the ole fly-in-the-ointment of our dear SGM brethren.  But it should also be pointed out that even Piper is a non-cessationist.

I don't think the above statement from SGM should be construed as the equivalent of Pentecostal/Charismatic theology.  After all, P/C is predominantly Arminian, Finneyan, and Keswickian... some even say Pelagian.  The larger issue for SGM is cessationism.
 
I'm a cessationist, but I'm not about to draw a line in the sand with Piper over the issue.  Our worship services on Sunday draw heavily on the PDI/SGM music, easily the best of the praise & worship genre.
