I prefer miracles from God to dead religion, but it is also important to follow the bible. As with anything that involves man, there are probably lots of errors, but the only people that make mistakes are the people that are doing something. Phil 1:15-18 (GW) 15 Some people tell the message about Christ because of their jealousy and envy. Others tell the message about him because of their good will. 16 Those who tell the message about Christ out of love know that God has put me here to defend the Good News. 17 But the others are insincere. They tell the message about Christ out of selfish ambition in order to stir up trouble for me while I'm in prison. 18 But what does it matter? Nothing matters except that, in one way or another, people are told the message about Christ, whether with honest or dishonest motives, and I'm happy about that. Yes, I will continue to be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit unbelievable to me. Just curious tho about one thing. Would a man of God boast about the numbers of saved people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thinking is if a miracle cure is meant to happen it's because God wanted it to happen not because somebody slaps me on the head and says "You're Healed". I'm not saying there aren't people who have healing abilities but I truly believe that the majority of them are bogus money grabbing servants of the devil sent here to lead people down the wrong path.

Can someone explain to me why we need such "revivals"? I think the term "revival" in the way that we understand it is not really Biblical. Is it?
