Huldrych Zwingli on Continuation of spiritual gifts
The question is not framed in these terms
This locus asks in categories that came later. Assigning a stance would answer on the figure's behalf, so the summary records what was addressed instead.
THE POSITION
Nothing found in what was read. Zwingli never asks whether tongues, prophecy or healing continue in the Sixty-Seven Articles, the Declaration Regarding Original Sin or the Fidei Ratio, which are the works read in full for this entry. The Exposition of the Christian Faith was read only in its chapter "Eternal Life" and cannot be reported on either way. The one adjacent remark is in the Commentary on True and False Religion — also not read directly — where he distinguishes the inward baptism of the Spirit from the outward one at Pentecost and says of the latter that it is not necessary and does not often recur in the church; that is a passing comment inside an argument about baptism, and too slight to build a cell on.
WHY THERE IS NO QUOTATIONFive positions carry no quotation, for two different reasons. On the canon, the miraculous gifts, the millennium and the unseen realm nothing in the works read poses the question; on the final state he assumes the answer rather than arguing it. Zwingli died at 47 leaving no systematic theology, and several of his works were not reachable in a public-domain English text for this run, so these are blanks in a partial corpus rather than proof that he was silent everywhere.
WHAT OTHERS HOLD HERE
ABOUT THIS FIGURE
Reformer of Zurich and the first Reformed theologian to leave a confession — the Sixty-Seven Articles of 1523 predate Augsburg by seven years. He pushed further than Luther on the Supper, which split the early Reformation at Marburg in 1529, further than anyone on the reach of election, and further than any other Reformer on who might finally be saved. This entry rests on the Sixty-Seven Articles (1523), the Declaration Regarding Original Sin (1526), the Fidei Ratio sent to Charles V (1530) and the Exposition of the Christian Faith written weeks before he died in battle — the last of these read only in its chapter on eternal life.
