Well I think some, (not all) Pentecostal folks seek credibility and evidence, ironically, that what they have and practice is legit and beyond refutation.
Many claims are made, even routinely, about OP/Apostolics being the apple of God's eye, so it helps when we can lay claim to something irrefutable... Unfortunately, sometimes the claims themselves become the Achilles Heel...

Is that healed after surgery/treatment or a real miracle healing? I have no prob with any human on earth can receive a miracle.

Re: Miracle at Impact Conference
Very interesting... having responded to over a thousand medical emergencies as an EMT I still have a few normal questions.
What happened? How long did he feel faint or lightheaded? Was he exerting himself prior to collapse? When was the last time he ate? What was it? How much water did he drink today? Was he sweating? What time was it when you could not find a pulse? Did CPR begin immediately, and continue until just now? Who pronounced him dead?
These are normal questions, among others, which might give clue to the the event and why it occurred.
If someone thinks I am trying to discredit anything - they are simply wrong. Quite the opposite is true actually.
By answering these questions we can help substantiate the cause of purported death and subsequent claims of supernatural intervention, or otherwise give thanks to God for His goodness toward his servant and minister.

Has anyone ever seen God grow a missing limb?

Like a certain alter that was struck by lightening and split in two mid sermon.

Re: Miracle at Impact Conference
Leaders always seem to gain credibility with their "sheep" when it appears that God chooses to heal them (after killing them of course) in some miraculous manner.
Wasn't LS "dead" for quite some time before God chose to resurrect him?

It's also a matter of the Bible saying "greater things than these shall they do". A lot of miracles happened in Acts, and so people really, really want these things to happen today. I think it's an honest desire, but it does cause a lot of hype. Not saying this instance was hype, I wasn't there.... but there are a lot of exaggerated stories going around just because people want signs and wonders to happen.

Another example of how error in interpretation leads to error in practice.
