That’s because there are differences regarding how those healing passages should be considered. Some believe that those passages are only referring to the time when the Apostles were here and that such healings were a sign of power to show the power of the gospel. It seems this woman and her pastors do not agree with this position. I don’t know which position is more prevalent, but it appears the “apostolic signs” position is the more accepted one, generally.

The Bereans were praised for knowing the scriptures and reading them diligently to understand what was written. The same proper handling of Scripture is just as important today—not just in regards to beliefs regarding healings, but to avoid all sorts of heresies and wacked out beliefs that are possible.

Sure there are differences on how those passages are considered. That’s because there some christians don’t have faith in them, so certain theological schools of thought have had to go BEYOND scripture to explain what they believe is happening.

There is nothing in scripture that indicates that the miracles were going to stop when the apostolic age stopped. That is just extrapolation by theologians to explain away something that they can’t explain otherwise.

Just because the Bereans were praised in their study of scriptures (which by the way was the hebrew scriptures if anything, not the greek scriptures) we have NO idea how they interrupted those scripture.
