BeenThinking was certainly polite in the way he asked the question.

I'm old enough to remember the voices of three generations of Apostolic "old timers" now. They all said, "we had more 'miracles' a way back yonder..." Even the younger elders said that when it became their turn to reminisce; and that despite the fact that their elders had bewailed the "compromise" and "worldly cares" of that generation.

Thanks pelathais. Wasn't trying to offend anyone. I've heard my share of preachers "speaking evangelistically" in my time and as far as I'm concerned the subject here is too important to "speak evangelistically!" And I kinda wonder about those who get so upset when someone ask about this. I am glad to hear the acceptance on AFF of Bro. A. A. Allen and Bro. Shambach and the miracles that occurred in their ministry.
And to those who seemed to forget my mentioning the lady in Fort Worth that had cancer and was healed some 45 years ago, have you heard of Sis Osteen, Joel's mom who was healed many years ago of terminal cancer. I believe in it! Just don't like to see it used to promote some man as he counts all of his miracles.

God bless you all. It's late and I'm shutting down for the night...I think!
