my mom had close to no faith and God healed her paralysed leg and set her spine again.. its not always faith. God may tell us some stuff but not everything.
I know a woman who was all strong in the Lord happy and everything and then a she was told to marry her now husband as it would be ''Gods will"
now shes just evil and bidder..not even to speak of the husband how he is. pure evil and all in the name of God.
I havent seen even once that if someone had a vision or ''prophetic'' word about a husbands looks or so, that it was from God. not even once. it ended up in destruction

It is my (human) understanding that there were the original apostles who personally witnessed the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and were sent out to give the original church its start all over the world. If there were not "qualifications" to being an apostle, then why did they record it as such is acts when they needed to replace Judas who betrayed Jesus? Also at the time that the new testament was written, most of the apostles who witnessed Jesus life were still alive.
Acts 1:15-26English Standard Version (ESV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, [SUP]16 [/SUP]“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. [SUP]17 [/SUP]For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” [SUP]18 [/SUP](Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong[SUP][a][/SUP] he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. [SUP]19 [/SUP]And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) [SUP]20 [/SUP]“For it is written in the Book of Psalms,
“‘May his camp become desolate,
and let there be no one to dwell in it’;
and
“‘Let another take his office.’
[SUP]21[/SUP]So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, [SUP]22 [/SUP]beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” [SUP]23 [/SUP]And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. [SUP]24 [/SUP]And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen [SUP]25 [/SUP]to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” [SUP]26 [/SUP]And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Paul also passes this test:
"So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, [SUP]22 [/SUP]beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.”
He was present among them (even though he was their enemy) from the time of John the baptist until he was taken up from them.

she got in a car accident (not her fault) and her spine was S shaped and her leg paralyzed and a missionary just took her to church. The elders prayed for her and a few days later her pain as gone and shes walking to this day and has 2 kids. The doctors stunned as they gifted her the crutches saying that she will never walk again.
So the only doctor doing anything, was the great physician

Well I've heard that as well and it might very well be true though Paul would have been Saul of the Pharisees looking to kill Jesus...
After the baptism Jesus, He was fully in the power of the Lord, though before hand He was as well but growing and learning and healing, chasing out demons, curing the lame, etc. as well..
