I have a link to an article about a church trying to heal a boy during prayer. They did it in what I believe was a horrible way.

I'm posting it here because I want to hear i purely christian perspective on the issue and because of the responses on the page I originally got the link from. Particually from a poster named Duemellon on the boards there. Here's the link to those boards. Be warned though this poster does have some inappropriate language, so be warned. If it is not alright for me to post such a link some mod. please polietly tell me so.

People do stupid things sometimes. Christians are no different.

Wow, I read the article and I think it is a shame and an example of when good intentions go very wrong. I believe that in everything we are to have good sound judgement and that is not always the case.
I am not bashing on them, but I think sometimes our zeal gets the better of us and outweigh sound thinking.
I hope that makes sense and comes out the way that I am trying to say it.
In other words, I think the minister was doing what his faith said God could do and that was to heal anything, with anyone at any time. However, I also think that the minister took it outside of the spiritual realm when no results were evident at first. At which time they may have taken it to the extreme!!
