Nor have I ever heard or seen any evidence of this ever happening. No offense, but I think a lot of folks hear what they want to hear - or like those in many deaf ministries, simply report things that are not the case in order to be able to report having some success.
I have heard of it happening. Not all the time though

As far as we can see it happened once in Acts
