The problem with just a few gifts passing away is the truth that nothing changes inside a covenant until the end of that covenant. The New Covenant/New Testament is still ours until Jesus comes the second time. It is definitely not until the canon. The gifts are taught IN the canon! That would be like we can eat until the cookbook is published, then we starve.
Well, the Bible was written to those people then, at their place and time.
So pursue gifts..was for the Corinthians plus others at the time. The question you gotta ask is if there is anything from that time which limits the practice of anything in the bible.
The early churches were established, the Canon was closed, the temple was destroyed, the apostles died.
Just because something is in the bible, doesn't always mean you apply it to today. Mostly you do with the NT..but the gifts of prophecy, tongues, knowledge and miracles had limits.
