IIRC Acts 29:12 talks of Paul (a mortal man) curing disease through the proxy of a handkerchief when he couldn't go himself.
Again IIRC that's right before the sons of sceva, a great example on the need for actual authority.
So, is Paul doing proxy work good enough for You? If not you'll have to wait till I get to a computer.
Lest we forget, this point of proxy work is absolutely vital to sustain the heresies in Mormonism, for they assert that unless the ‘temple work’ is done for those who died before Joey Smith slithered upon the world stage, no Salvation may be obtained, for Smith claimed ALL of Christianity was in total apostasy until Smith arrived ‘in these latter days’. Mormonism is founded upon the assertion that without Smith, Christianity was not ‘restored’. And that point has always bothered me with regard to friend Glenn Beck, since he is founding his revival of American values upon the notion that the founders were Christian mena nd women, yet his religion of Mormonism didn’t come along until 1830!
Maybe you got it all wrong and you should be waving handerchiefs at people.
God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. ACTS 19:11-12
Context, context, CONTEXT DU! It matters!
Do you expect some brownie points?
