It is a great story of God's touch with it just being that he was unconscious and was healed. That is not good enough for a lot of people though and by the time this gets told a few times it will be a four doctors, ten nurses, an undertaker, and EMT crew all declaring him dead for an hour.

In any case I am glad he is fine.

I agree with CC1, it is awesome that God touched his body and he went on to worship God for that healing. I do believe in miracles, but why state he was "dead".

When I was 15, I was singing the lead w/our church choir in a special anniv service. At the end of the second pew was an elderly man in a wheel chair. I watched him turn grey, slump over and in my mind all I could think was "Oh My, he is dying in front of me...don't lose it...keep singing" and fortunately some saw the same thing, my dad calmly stepped up to him along w/a few other ministers and prayed for him. The man revived, color came back and service went on.

I've seen things like this happen before, I know God to be a healer and a miracle worker...and more than likely Bro Arnold was very sick and possibly dying...that is enough to be thankful that God has touched his body.

My father was really sick in his last 4 years of life while on dialysis, and I can't count the times he passed out, went grey, and we thought we had lost him..no pulse either...only to start CPR or call the EMTs...and see him come back around, sit back up and continue to live.

I don't claim to be a medical expert, but really, we might think someone is dead, but until you are declared dead by medical professional who had tried to do CPR... you really aren't "dead". See... I am agreeing w/Steve on this one!

I agree with this post! Maybe I'm a little too skeptical, but I would be more inclined to believe it if he was pronounced dead by a doctor after 15 minutes of CPR. Even better yet, taken out in a body bag and he walks back in the next night after being dead for 24 hours! Unconscious -yeah! Difficulty finding a pulse with all the praying going on? - yeah! Dead? - not so sure!

Like the guy I read about yesterday that woke up in the morgue. Pronounced dead after all attempts to save him had failed.

there was a highway patrolman who pulled a elderly couple over for speeding a few years back. while giving a ticket, a drunk driver side swiped him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
