Buddhists, New Agers, and Wiccans also claim miraculous healing. Mormons light up when you ask them about miraculous healing. Lubavitch Chabad, also claim the power to heal, when they pray. One should be careful when they think that miracles are the sign of being in line with God and His truths.
Please keep in mind that the magicians who withstood Moses turned their canes into serpents also, but Aaron and Moses' rod swallowed up the magician’s rods. CJ, the inevitable is that it is always about salvation.

I remember a gentleman whom when I lived in New York converted to Lubavitch Hasidic Jewry. He use to be a heroin junkie, and all around loser, and the Lubavitch helped him to his act together. I have seen it with Jehovah Witness, Buddhism, Islam, New Age, and Mormonism. Apostolic Pentecostalism is more than just being a good citizen, and helping little old ladies across the road, it's a way of life that leads us to heaven.
Rehabilitation is not a sign of being in good standings or the power of God in a person’s life. I have seen people behave themselves in all walks of life.

Who determines that? I remember when thousands of people claimed that Jimmy Swaggart had great love of God, but he was not loving God in motels in Baton Rouge. When a person has love for God they will continue their search until they find all that God has for them. They will not stay in mainstream Trinitarian, ho hum.

You were correct in your choice to use the word "maybe" because you are making a statement that has no way of being proven. CJ, think about what you're saying. They love the word STRONGER than One God people? Were you trying to edify One God believers by making that statement?
I'm amazed at how some try to subtily kick each others teeth out with these threads, but when some individuals pull the hammers out and start pounding a few nails back in their place. Then the banning begins.
CJ, you been around Apostolic for 55 years and this is what she gets?
CJ, the Brothers and Sisters I fellowship with are the most studious individuals I know. The pastors and preachers I speak with are constantly in their Word. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but America is religiously ignorant. For a country that leads the world in religious freedom we sure don't take advantage of our privilege. I'm in Bible study in public everyday, and I'm blown away by the lack of knowledge that PASTORS, and PREACHERS, who are Trinitarian, have about the Bible and Christian history.
CJ, God bless your heart Brother, but I just don't understand why you are making these statements. If these people who you are fawning over are so much in love with the Word, then why are they so stuck in their denominational dogmas? Do they all have the revelation that YOU do?

Brother CJ, please don't take offence to what I'm about to say but the above statement wins you a Big Fat Brooklyn Zero. Please, Brother, Love for each other? You know how many non-Christian groups have a love for each other? Does that make them stronger, more right, and more correct?
Homosexuals, Lesbians, and Transgender people sure work together intensely to change the culture of this nation (starting with the cities first) and does that make them correct? Do they posses some supernatural power from God?
Brother CJ, it starts and ends with ONE thing, and that ONE thing is the Word of God. If you are off concerning that then you can love each other, and have pizza party Bible discussions until you grow old and gray, and you will be as lost as a goose in a wind storm.
The Lord bless you and your family.
In Jesus name
Brother Benincasa
