Third, we shall strongly argue that the apostolic offices and miraculous gifts and also all miracles whatsoever ceased during the apostolic age. By this, we mean miracles that last occurred before the death of the last Apostle who had personally seen the risen and ascended Christ as the ‘Absolute Miracle.’
Fourth, we shall show that there is no patristic evidence whatsoever which establishes that miracles indeed continued during the post-apostolic age(s). Properly interpreted, all patristic references to miracles only very clearly relate to occurrences during the apostolic age (or even earlier) — and not to occurrences during the subsequent patristic age.
