Matthew 8:16-17 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. [17] This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

Matthew 14:35-36 And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him [36] and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

Jesus healed people before the book of acts-

My question would be does God respond to correct doctrine or does he respond to faith?

Do you people really really realize it is God doing these healings and not the man???? People begin to look too much to man and not enough towards the divine healer! I do not doubt God can and does use people like this but first of all there is a lot missing.. second of all... is this another benny hinn we are dealing with? Oh wait... Forgot we have the BH cheerleading section here too ROFL! My bad... just think about it..

God is more interested in our heart than He is in our head.

Matt I know several people who were healed in trinitarian churches but came to the knowledge of One God and Acts 2:38--their healing was a stepping stone to more.

Sometimes these people become so puffed up it ends up being nothing but an Me Me Me thing and God quickly gets removed from the mix
