<<If we take the premise of the first paragraph as true, then it follows that
the communication gifts are limited to - men - upon the completion of the
Canon. >>
This may be going a bit too far. There is the gift of exhortation (Rom 12:7)
as well as instruction for older women to teach younger women, etc. So I
would not go so far as to say that the communication gifts are limited to
men. I also have reservations about the cessation of prophecy (in a
noncanonical sense), but I'll avoid that discussion.
