You fail to distinguish between

my statement: “God’s will for you to be healed” (3 John 2), and

YOUR statement: “all believers will be healed” which I never said.

“By his stripes we are healed” is not false doctrine - it is the word of God which you “make of none effect through your tradition” (Mark 7:13).

Your statement from your opening paragraph.

I just want to encourage you that it is God's will that you receive your healing.

You are making an absolute statement that it is indeed God's will that you receive your healing. There is no other way to understand what YOU wrote. This can only mean that it is God's will for all to be healed which is the same as saying all believers will be healed. There's no difference.

You fail to distinguish between

my statement: “God’s will for you to be healed” (3 John 2), and....

The only problem with your selective quote of 3 John 2 is that is not what it says.

2Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 2 NASB

John is praying for this to happen but he is NOT guaranteeing it will happen.

If you can't be honest in quoting the Word the rest of your statements are called into question as well.
