I posted it from my website that I first penned in 1997 and was not quoting you or copying it from you.

I did not say that you were; however, what I did say, you have not addressed, which is the fact that you omitted the part about "in the name of Jesus" referring to being in his character, not only his authority.

Have you? Under what circumstances, if the answer is yes.

Yes I have. Define what you mean by circumstances.

What part of two different events, one before and one after Pentecost, do you not understand?

I was agreeing with you when I said I believe it's because what you're saying...

I will differ on this point. " greater works than these will you perform.."

I have seen this happen right next to me and it is AWESOME...

Let's be sure you're differ on the same point. I'm speaking about who has the authority. Not what can happen in which time period.

This discussion is not about me!

This should not be taken as a reply in the negative.  I am simply not going to allow you to make this about me.

Oh okay. I was not thinking it was about you, but rather can the Christian (that would be us) use this authority that I think you mentioned was a thing Christians have.

Here I will post it again. Same post as before...

A man’s name meant more than just a label of identification in the days when Jesus Christ walked the earth. The man’s name carried the characteristics that the name implied, such as authority, character, rank and power—everything the name covers as expressing his attributes. A man’s name not only revealed his character or authority on whose behalf one would act, but it also was the identity of how one was known, expressing the essential nature of its bearer, the personality and expression of the man’s innermost being. To be called by the name of a person would denote the standing in a peculiar relation to him, or being his property. To speak or act in a person’s name would be to act by his authority, and thereby to represent or participate in his revealed nature.

Names in the Bible were considered to identify and describe the very being and function of their bearers because a man’s name represented him wholly. A person could exercise influence over a man by using his name because one would need to conform to his essential nature as expressed in his name. The Old Testament prophets spoke in the name of the Lord with all His authority and power. Jesus claimed to have come in his Father’s name, meaning as the Father’s representative. We have only one life to live and give our utmost for His Highest. Do we dare to live in the powerful and victorious name of our living Lord and savior Jesus Christ, calling upon his name to invoke him on the basis of his revealed nature and character?

Acts 3: 

¹⁶ And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

       *****

This event took place after the day of Penticost...

This is not the first time Peter or anyone else of Jesus Christ disciples had heal someone...

But this is the first time that Peter healed someone who was judged by the Sinai Covenant, excluded from the blessings of the Sinai's Covenant. 

he was cut off because of his deformity and was not allowed to enter the Temple.

Before the Cross and under the Sina Covenant Jesus had given authority to Peter and the other disciples to heal the sick...but when they ran into a boy who was Judge under the Sina Covenant to bear the sins of his Father's they had a problem and couldn't heal him...that time only Jesus could heal him...

But in this event after the Cross we are given a sign that this time Peter in the name of Jesus had loosen this man from the shackles of the old Covenant where the children had to carry the chastisement for the sins of their Fathers...

This man was one of the broken hearted...

he was predistine  from the day of his conception to carry the punishment for the sins not his own but for the sins of his father...

he was punished instant of his Father.  

with this miracle Peter justified what Jesus had said in the Synagogue in his home town.

"that he came to set the CAPTIVES free to proclaim liberty and heal the broken hearted". 

This miracle was a sign to the people that Jesus Christ is the  one the Prophet Esaias wrote about in chapter 66:

which Jesus recited in the Synagogue.   

This is also a sign that the people were free from the Sina Covenant...

The whole world was free from the Sinai Covenant that God is now for the whole world. 

That God himself is free from the oath he gave to Abraham that he will be the God of his offspring only and now can be the God of all people in the world in the Cross of Jesus Christ...in the new way not through the Sinai Covenant which ended at the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross.

After the day of Penticost Peter had faith to heal this man who was course from his conception, predestined to bear the punishment for the sins of his parents...

Peter believe the old Covenant had seize to be with the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross.  

He set the captive man free from the judgment of the Sina. 

This Man entered the Temple...the people marveled..

I have seen a lot of these spirits in humans since I have been a Christian for a number of years. So I can spot them walking to me on the street. Perhaps I'm not as good as I think about spotting them. Maybe it was the spirit of Christ that spotted them. This is hard for me to tell since I walk so close to the Christ is why I can't tell the difference between me and the spirit. But somebody saw them. Either me or my spirit. And I was just not in the mood for any of their BS so I told them to leave and they hopped right to it.

Part of Matthew 28:18 says...

All power [delegated authority, implies the ability to make power felt. E.W. Bullinger] is given unto Christ in heaven and in earth.

I do not believe God has given any of this authority to me. I read nowhere where it says "ask in your name" or "all authority has been given unto us on earth and in heaven."
