QUESTION: Jesus, according to Matthew 4:23-24 and other passages,
healed people with various diseases. Do pastors, evangelists, and bishops
have this same power today?
ANSWER: No! The sole reason for the gifts of the Spirit, which included
healings, was to confirm the Word being taught (John 20:30-31). Once all
scripture was given by inspiration of God, confirmed and written, the need for
gifts then passed away! Such was the will of God (Ephesians 4:7-14; I
Corinthians 13:8-13). Men who claim to have the “gifts” today are false teachers
and need to be avoided!
