I didn't say that...
Okay, I'm sorry if my words were misunderstood, so I'll just clarify my position.

Of course, the Healing Ministry is one of the functions of the Church, signifying the coming of the Kingdom.

But the Healing Crusade??? Where is it mentioned in the Bible? The first ever healing crusade was in the twentieth century and no earlier.

The Bible says that most people were healed in their houses or in small groups, with hardly any witnesses. And in fact, many were healed even without having personal faith in Jesus Christ, for instance the beggar outside the temple in Acts 3, to say nothing of the blind man in John 9 and the daughter of Jairus whom Jesus raised from the dead. The faith presumably came after the healing.

The absence of healings in a particular ministry should not unduly worry us. It is not essential in that sense but it is nevertheless one of the functions of the Church.

My problem with Hinn is the same problem I have with most of the "church" today. They have swerved from the Word, either adding all kinds of gimmicks, and fads, or rejecting the gifts that were given to us to use all together. Not sure which one God dislikes the most.

I thank God for His grace, and mercy because I am sure we all have swerved off.

I know God uses what is available.

I came to the Lord in a pretty doctrinally screwed up group, but the Lord was guiding me.

I can't say Binney Hinn is not used of God because I believe he probably is.

The absence of healings in a particular ministry should not unduly worry us. It is not essential in that sense but it is nevertheless one of the functions of the Church.

It worries me, especially when it is rejected as false by denominations that claim to preach the truth.
