Do Christian faith healings really occur?

If so, why haven't there been any documented cases of things like spinal cord healings, curing of AIDS, severed limb regrowth, etc? The stuff I always see are the "healings" of people that don't really have major medical problems or, the healing can't really be proven. What gives?

Some have doubts & some dont. Are you talking about physical healings, or healings of faith. A persons faith can be strengthened & up built but physical healings as far a a spiritual healer healing someone, i dont think so, only Jesus himself can do that.
Now dont get me wrong i said no person (Henny Binn,etc) can physically heal no one, however i have known of people who pray to God through Jesus himself, who may have had an illness & it regressed to non fatal or serious ness.(Even Hezekiah had 15yrs added to his life)
But an individual that you have to give money to on tv? Come on be for real.
I tell you what, find any faith or Physical healer of your choice any where in the world --- yours or anyones choice, and see if they can really raise the "dead" as Jesus and his apostles really did. then i may believe. But for a price, theres too many scams, or people paid, or certain ones picked out of an audience to prove it and even if they do. Matt 7:22:

Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and PERFORM MANY POWERFUL WORKS(this could include healing) in your name?' 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me YOU workers of lawlessness.
So whether they do or not if its not according to doing the will of his Father who is in the heavens its all in vain (Matt 7:21) for according to 1 Cor12:31 there are spiritual gifts greater than these .

I believe they did 2,000 years ago with the Apostles of Christ after his death. They were given the ability to heal and to speak in tongues.

Faith healers today are more or less a sham, and a show to draw more attendence. Most are complete frauds.

they're all bunk.

No one can heal you but Al Quran and The Lord himself. Jesus was given gifts at that time, surely near everyone was living a very short life. If he was who they say he was, then why did it turn so bad for 640 years after he left. You see nothing they say holds mustard. Its just blind faith they believe and there is no body. Judas looked good in those pictures and on that cross didn't he?

The HOLY SPIRIT needs to manifest HIMSELF in individuals before great miracles can occur. People will NOT do it for the theatrics such as Benny Hinn and others. These people are NOT humble and are deceiving many. Watch out!

GOD bless

I think this topic may be more debated amongst Christians than non-Christians. There are of course, people who believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for all generations of Christians. There are also those, called cessationists, who believed that gifts such as healing, speaking in tongues, raising the dead, etc. were only something given at the beginning of the Church, when the gospel was first being spread. I guess I'm more in the second camp, because even though I do believe that God can heal and do miracles, I don't think individuals are "assigned" specific gifts anymore.

And those guys like Benny Hinn who travel all over the world "healing" people are criminals, not preachers. He is no prophet; he is a wolf in sheep's clothing and even if he makes it his whole life without being exposed to people, one day he'll stand before God guilty... Harsh words, yes. But sometimes the truth is harsh.

Some actually do-but not many.
Most are just not true. Any that you see done by TV evangelist and faith healers is completely bogus. The Benny Hinn, Katheryn Kulman, Oral Roberts stuff is just outright fraud.
Why God chooses to heal some and not others will remain a big question. I have been a Christian fro nearly 20 years. I have heard many stories-but only know of one case where a child with a broken neck, and spinal cord injury, was completely healed.
The child was in an motorcycle accident and broke his neck. He was paralyzed from the neck down. He was med-evaced to the hospital where several xrays revealed a broken neck and the doctors confirmed he was paralyzed- Mom and Dad on their face before God. A neurosurgeon was called in, who ordered more xrays. The new xrays did not show a broken neck-the child got up and walked out of the hospital. How is this? The neurosurgeon said the first xrays were faulty, that there was a scratch or dust on the film that appeared as a break in the neck. The ER doctors said no-the child had a broken neck and he was paralized. Their only explanation was that it was a real miracle.
If I did not personally know this family, I would not believe it. This story was carried on national TV around 1995.

Given that the attitudes demonstrated here are not unique, if you were a part of a true miracle would you publicize it or be discrete?
