Are you ruling out prayer in tongues or just answering the question as narrowly asked? Just curious as you seem to believe that Healing is still possible, but maybe not tongues.

I promise you, I studied this one. I do not believe the Bible clarifies a "prayer language." I believe it is word play to justify what happened at the Azuza street revivals. ( A congregation of witches and spiritists who suddenly became the authority of the "Baptism of the Holy Ghost?"

Healing was not an "end times sign" but a work of God to those who believe. Healing is very rare and done when God wants to do it. Miracles are not at all an "end times" gift but tongues and prophecy were.
Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks of years are decreed concerning your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, [this is the "perfect" that came:
1 Cor 13:9 For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; 10 but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away]
to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place.
I believe those specific gifts are gone.
