Modern day John Wimber, Smith Wigglesworth, John G Lake?

Kathryn Kuhlman use to get 10% healings in her miracle services, an average service consisting of 8-10,000 people. That's 800-1000 miracles per service. There is nobody close to that today in terms of a healing ministry.

Perhaps. If there is, they don't advertise.

I responded though because there are many doctors (and ministers) with a much higher rate of healing.
(over 80%).(with no drugs). They've been practicing since the 1900's, before about 1955 legally, after that illegally.
They cannot advertise either. (for very obvious reasons).

Just like a church cannot advertise either, IF it does what Jesus says to do. (it would be either overrun with people, swamped way beyond capacity , or bulldozed by other chruches(literally) )

Justin Peters is an evangelist and convention speaker and he is another one who confronted Bentley, publicly rebuking him on stage, in accordance with scripture.

Good. That's the way in line with scripture. Many men of God went to billy g before 1950 and rebuked him , privately first, then publicly. He never repented. (his failure is all over the internet, but most 'christians' were so fooled by him, they refuse to even consider how evil he was and is)

You are a sick bunch. Looking for a Superstar?... good grief!

Judgemental much?

Maybe they're just looking for people with leadership skills to stand up and inspire. Even the original disciples had leaders.

And to recognize when a message or messenger is not from God.
Remember Houdini ?
He exposed every clairvoyant he visited , proved they were a fraud, every one. (He knew they were before even visiting any, since they all were frauds).

Do you just willy nilly with everybody accept john doe or mary smith as a modern day john wimber / smith wigglesworth
or do you differentiate between the many false teachers and the few true ones ?

Some have gifts of healing. Some people are dying. Maybe if you are ever in need like that you will understand that they're not seeking for someone to replace Jesus, but looking for someone who can believe enough to do the works of the Father.

Curry Blake had a daughter who died of a terminal illness. He tried to contact all the then-known faith healers for help. No one responded. He promised God that if he would teach him, that he would never refuse anyone no matter what time of day or night. You can find his messages all over You-Tube. I heard him say once that he hasn't gotten a whole night's sleep (for years).

I’ll not speak against the man, but I would be cautious in swallowing everything he says as truth. Be like the Bereans who were commended by the Apostles for going to the Scripture to make sure what they were hearing was truth.

.. I would not personally attend one of their meetings as they are all associated with controversy and false teachings of some sort or fashion..

Many of the old time people of faith healings and miracles were gossiped about and lies told about them: AA Allen, Aimee Simple McPherson ..or.. some made errors like when Kathryn Kuhlman married a man God told her not to marry.
Even Jesus was lied about, false witnesses rose up, and then when He rose from the dead they scandalized Him and his disciples by saying they stole his body. I wonder how many of us would hear those lies back then and refuse to hear the disciples/apostles because we believed false testimonies?

I understand Benny Hinn to a degree because of the money. He has recently admitted he was wrong in that area.

Here's a great testimony of John Kilpatrick, makes me get a tad weepy:

Bill Johnson from Bethel Church. Such great perspective.
