It doesn’t matter who Peter was preaching to, the miracle happened. The age of miracles is NOT past and the bible does not anywhere tell us that the age of miracles is past, other than your personal interpretation that is not infallible.

No, it DOES matter who Peter was preaching to. As long as God was dealing with Israel as a nation ("the Jews require a sign"), miracles were happening. I am not saying that God does not answer prayer today, He most certainly DOES. I AM saying that there are no faith healers, visions, apparitions, etc. God does not have certain people who He has blessed with the gift of healing or receiving special messages or visions from Him. He doesn't need to. He has given us His entire Word from Him.

What I'm trying to make you see is that healings, miracles, signs, wonders, dreams, visions, etc. were the operating norm as long as God was dealing with Israel. When she became Lo Ammi (not my people) in Acts 28, those practices stopped. NOW, we walk by FAITH, NOT by SIGHT. And will until He resumes His relationship with Israel (Tribulation). THEN all of those things Peter and the 11 were doing will once again be performed. Why? BECAUSE OF ISRAEL. (The Jews require a sign).
