It is hard to stay behind Benny(and others like him) but I know where you are coming from. Either God still works the way he did 2000 years ago, or he doesn't. I don't see any indication in His letters to us that He intends to stop working that way.
Are we supposed to mock Benny and anyone who supports him? No way. Are we supposed to abandon the healing part of Jesus' sacrifice and only embrace the forgiveness part? No way. I hope Benny et al. are walking us thru the clumsy and awkward baby steps of the restoration of Gods power & gifts to the church.

God's power and gifts never left the Church. And His Church is called to discern truth from error. That's not judging - it's biblical. The Church is to warn people about the false teachings and practices of the cults, which claim compatibility with Christianity and yet deny cardinal Christian doctrine. Our standard is truth and our judge is Scripture.
