No apostle ever healed anybody at any time.. the Holy Spirit did.. Saying the apostles did it is to HIJACK the Holy Spirit's ministry(if it were possible).. Many deny the Holy Spirit YET speak "his name" as if it were a talisman..

Yes, you are 100% correct. They were chosen instruments through which God chose to publicly work. Perhaps I am guilty of using a little shorthand. :)

It was always the faith of the "heal-ee" not the acumen of the "heal-or" that caused and causes healing.. spiritually.. by the Holy Spirit or Jesus.. Could be the Holy Spirit Could Not/CANNOT heal in certain "venues" because it would link him to the practises "held/performed/sinned" there..

There is many kinds of healing not all physical.. even an epiphany from the Holy Spirit is a kind of healing.. Call it a mental healing.. Example: Even knowing what a messiah is and seeing that Jesus is "that one" is a healing.. Jesus is not MERELY a Super-Hero with a fleshly uniform he much much more.. Actually Jesus' flesh is a metaphor of who and what he really is.. "Jesus" existed long before he put on flesh.. and still does.. Jesus is a Spirit..
