Confidence in prayer for healing vs. fabricating certainty — suffering can be within God's will

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 4) 00:33:08 – 00:35:10

Continuation of healing/prayer question; preview of upcoming Kenneth Copeland study.

Citing James 1, Mike affirms that God works in suffering, pain, and hardship. Prayer for healing should be hopeful and confident, not forced or falsely certain. A ministry that claims universal healing but consistently fails to produce it is showing an inconsistent Christianity. True Spirit-led healing ministry would be marked by consistent results. He plans a dedicated study on how right Kenneth Copeland is (and is not) on healing.

No man left behind: Jesus died for all

Was John the Baptist predestined to be saved?

In the teaching of Calvinism, there is an election to salvation for some men while the rest of mankind are created without a hope of eternal life. In this understanding God has pre-determined from eternity past that all but the elect would remain in their sin and be lost forever.
