Sometimes I wonder how much dependence there really is on the Spirit. Apparently not enough when we think the entire Kingdom of God will fail if we fail. This anxiety screams "I don't trust that God is in control."

I don't know about a generation but consider this. Cessationists say the gifts disappeared when the bible was complete and or the last Apostle died. Yet there are historical references afterwards and before the godhead issues were codified, to the gifts, like tongues and prophesy.
Historically, as you go along, it seems to me there are less and less references to them.
So perhaps over time they did lose some truth, like the operation of the gifts
