Is faith healing a legitimate biblical principle?

  • Is faith healing a legitimate biblical principle?
  • Have the miraculous spiritual gifts (healing, prophecy, tongues) ceased, or do they continue today?

The hosts hand the opening response to Dan, who argues God can heal whenever he wants but that Scripture's miracles clustered around God doing something big — Moses and the exodus, Jesus' ministry confirming who he was, the apostles in Acts — rather than being everyday occurrences. They read 1 Corinthians 12 on the gifts of the Spirit and debate whether the gift of healing continues now, landing on the distinction that personal faith does not give anyone the power to heal; prayer asks God, and God alone is sovereign over the answer.
