Excerpt
I maintain that modern spiritual gifts are analogous to but not identical
with the divinely authoritative gifts exercised by the apostles. Since
there is no strict identity, apostolic teaching and the Biblical canon have
exclusive divine authority. On the other hand, since there is analogy,
modern spiritual gifts are still genuine and useful to the Church. Hence there
is a middle way between blanket approval and blanket rejection of modern
charismatic gifts. --from the first page of the article
