Cindy, I don't think anybody on here is saying that God does not heal. I have been healed myself as a child with a stomach issue that was going to require exploratory surgery (they didn't have MRI's and CAT scans in those days).
However believing that God and does heal does not change anything that has been written here about those parents allowing two children to die.
Show me in the bible where God prohibits people going to a doctor? Believing that one should ONLY trust in God for getting better when sick is akin, in my mind, to those people who don't work, save money, use good stewardship of their money, etc because they believe God will take care of them. God expects us to do our part in taking care of ourself and those we are responsible for.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
