Hi Revangelist, of course your experience of that healing event seems conclusive, and such experiences are how the belief in the gifts for today keeps being accepted and promoted, but it's really the usual case of someone SAYING they got healed but there isn't any effort to investigate what happened after the fact. When people do investigate such instances the result has been universally that it wasn't a real healing. Beth may be right that women aren't allowed even to speak to give a work of prophecy or knowledge, so that may be a test here too, and I also agree with Jerry. But I have to say also that I think you've conducted yourself here with more true Christian spirit than most of your opponents, and that certainly includes myself.
