This is the part that "gets me." There are 11 verses in the Bible with the phrase "face to face." If this interpretation is correct, this is the
only time the phrase is allegorical and not literal. Saying we see the Lord "face to face" today strikes me as the same kind of "spiritualization" that the reformed folks engage in when they deny the literal 1000 year reign of Christ on earth.
I certainly don't believe that sign gifts are in use today, but this verse doesn't present a strong argument to me for that. Furthermore, aren't the sign gifts going to be in use again before the 1000 year reign?
