Tiffany,
Your personal preference to not give personal testimonies is fine. I personally accept that and don’t have a problem with that. However, please do not seek to make a new doctrine about personal testimonies. Observe that the entire Bible is replete with testimonies from people’s lives. While the NT may not have as many testimonies from real people’s lives, it does not negate the importance of hearing about how God works in real people’s lives. When we consider our analysis of things, it is important to see how our ideas work out in real life.

Does the concept that God can spiritually intervene in life and heal people, actually work? Yes, it does. We know that because of personal testimonies in real people’s lives. Does God always heal? We know He doesn’t (although we have to search Scripture for the answer) because in real people’s lives, we see that some are not healed even after asking.

Personal testimony is important. From personal testimony we hear that the majority of women who live within a male dominated marriage suffer from it . Why is that, do you suppose?

BTW Tiffany, are you actually reading the responses here. I have responded twice to the concept that the church is a ” model/shadow/representation of Christ and His church” and you have not responded. Perhaps, it would help if you provide a Scripture for this idea.
