"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." -- James 5:14-16
It appears that Christian intercessors may, indeed, gather to pray for an afflicted person. Do you believe they must do it silently, without communicating with one another?
OK, so I don’t see the problem here, if Jesus prayed aloud, and the Book of James says,
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
John 11:42
And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.

I do not believe they must but i believe it is much more inline with what Jesus said on the matter.
Yes, they can talk verbally to each other but have silent prayer
And yes Jesus prayed out loud a few times and he explained why he did it, although he owes me no explanation.
And you can pray how ever you want, i don,t think there would be any penalty for it but Jesus told his apostles not to do as the hypocrites did.
James 5:14-16
yes, to confess your sins to one another we would have to be verbal but to pray to God for each other we would not,
because God reads that which we think.
