There might be a rare case where a godly felt let to lay her hair, hanky, or hand on someone and they got healed BY FAITH not by the object. Do greet Newman for me she shared prayer request a time or two. I really respected her.

And that's the thing, Elder...

Some well-meaning, sincere sister was praying for a loved one or whatever, laid over them, and God honored their prayer of faith.

She shared this with someone who told someone else who made into a thing that it must have been the hair that did the healing...

It's like dear Sis. McGruder...she was sick one morning, praying in her home, and she felt to literally stand on the Word...laying her Bible on the floor, she did just that, and she felt a touch from the Lord.

Suddenly there were women everywhere standing on their Bible...

Folks, just because Naaman dipped 7 times in a dirty river doesn't mean I must do the same.

Let's get for real here...

You hit the nail on the head in more ways than one!

I will be thinking of this post the next time I hear about an upcoming foot washing service!

I want the real thing. The real demonstration of the Holy Ghost and Holiness.
Unfortunately too many who have started seeking God for the real thing, somewhere along the line settled for a dose of sensationalism.

I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic.

I don't see how this is the same at all? The young lady being a bew convert made a committment to God why wouldn't God honor that and keep the virus from infecting her showing her He was partner in her committment. NOTHING here is being said about the power of hair but a promise given to the Lord. You don't think God honors committments we make to Him?

Seems to me you folks just hate. And honestly Pentecost is better off with some folks not claiming to be Pentecost. Go and learn hat that means.

If you don't think that not cutting her hair and God moving on her behalf wasn't the point of the story then you're blind.....leading the blind. And if you don't think that the teaching she received included the requirement that a woman isn't to cut her hair if wishes to be saved you're clueless also.

That's what the sermon was about, that a woman should know not to cut her hair if she wishes to be saved and a woman shouldn't cut her hair if she hopes for God to move in her life.

It was a magic hair sermon, not a God works miracles in your life in answer to prayer sermon.

The largest Pentecostal organization in the world, the one which proceeded oneness Pentecostalism (circa 1913), teaches no such thing. Pentecostal doesn't mean 'woman don't cut your hair because it's a sin and you'll go to hell or die of a dreaded disease if you do'.

Time for you to learn what Pentecostal actually means....from the bible of course, not from your romanist legalistic system.
