went to a faith healer. She had epilepsy and diabetes. He prayed for her and told her she was healed. He believed it. She believed it. She believed it enough that she went OFF her medication, BELIEVING that she had been and was healed. She died from her UNHEALED after all, conditions.

You think maybe she believed man? You have no idea who and in what she believed. Let's be honest here.

Some Christians get very excited over the promises of God's Word but make the mistake of not getting firmly established in those truths before they "jump out on a limb" with them. This kind of people withers away when the heat is on. We can't live off of someone else's commitment to the Word; we must have root in ourselves (Mark 4:17)

And just how many people that Jesus healed were well grounded in the word, IOW, knew who Jesus was?

You’re saying that all she needed was faith. Well, she showed it. She obviously had enough faith that God could and did heal her to go off her medications. Now that’s not good enough? She must have been deficient in her faith somewhere else?

That is the PERFECT example of what I’ve been talking about. She didn’t have enough faith. It was in the wrong person. She wasn’t grounded in the word enough. It’s her fault she wasn’t healed.

Since no charismatic is going to blame God for not healing her, then the blame obviously falls on her, and everyone analyzes where she went wrong based on the undesirable results. You don’t know her heart either. You CAN’T make those judgments about her without taking the role of judge and jury.

Well, if she’d just have done it *right* (the charismatic way) then OF COURSE she would have been healed. Spiritual snobbery on display.

Excuses duly noted.
