I mean you're not wrong but in context of this thread you're not really making a constructive counter argument.
God did/does give his children all power and authority in Jesus name. But no where does scripture say that "all power and authority" means every John and Jill who follows will cast out demons, see limbs restored etc.
You are making a very daft assumption that anyone who says "I can't or I haven't" performed miracles with my hands is scared or faithless. Some of God's greatest miracles are the lives that get changed through the example a faithful Christian provides an unbeliever.
Because truth is, not everyonr who has a demon cast out will follow Christ. Nor will everyone who is healed. Power miracles do little to add to the Kingdom. They have there place and I'm not discounting that. But to say every believer must do these things is just as wrong as saying no believer can (cessasionism).
no ones said every believe must
Its an emotionally charged assumption added in by another.
But...
If one " believes" and does not doubt in their heart.....
Hmm yes what becomes possible ? All things.
So belief is directly linked to the outworking of the power of God validating the believers obedience.
And unbelief is directly linked to a lack of Validation .
Remember... Believing means believing. not building opinion based theologies to justify unbelief.
And in all honesty what Other reason is there for not stepping out to obey but fear which is caused by a lack of belief.And has been over the years reinforced by false teachings formulated by Others who are still in self denial about thier lack of sincere belief and reseulting faith.
There is no judgment in saying this nor condemnation. It is just a state of honesty and realness we must reach in our relationship with God .once we get brutally honest with ourselves then we get humbeld and get to draw closer to God and increase in love for him.
And perfect love casts out 1st fear of his judgment and 2nd fear of failure.
Then we can step out in fearless love and trust and make the attempt to docwhat he tells us to do ,for no other reason but that we love him ,so we believe him and we take action accordingly.
I say there is no condemnation in saying this because we see none from Jesus when he told the man ... "If you believe, all things are possible" .To which the man responded with open honesty... Saying "Lord, i believe, help thou my Unbelief... "
And the lord so valued that truthfulness of heart he immediately did exactly that and meet him fully in that need.
You see the lord said we are to worship God in spirit and in truth..
Ww must never seek to theologically justify our short falls.
But rather confess them and be forgiven and cleansed from all righteousness...
Doubt and unbelief are unrighteousness .and we need them purged from us.And God is more willing to do that in us then we are to humble ourselves and Ask him.
And that cannot occur untill we confess they are there.
And to do so we can NOT afford any self justifying of them. Because to self justify our unbelief in any form is to say that God is unfaithful to his word and that, is impossible.
God has never ever and can never change.
He is always the same
