"If you have the gift of healing, go to a hospital, heal all the patients, and discharge them,"
–This is not a good argument against continuationism.
Jesus went to a 'hospital' in John 5. He did not heal even two out of the multitude of sick people there. By the records, he healed ONE. Yet, if anyone could heal everyone, without doubt, Jesus could do so during His earthly ministry. Yet, He did not. Not that He could not. He did not.
DIAGNOSTICS
One big issue, as I see it, is a misunderstanding of the purpose of divine interventions like healing miracles. I don't have the allowance to write a thesis on "Why God allows healing miracles."
The bottom line for now is, cessationism is biblically untenable, because God still endows saints with gifts to heal, to do miracles, etc, as captured in the Corinthian correspondence. That's the point. And, not healing every sick person in the environment is not an argument against the reality of gifts of healing, today.
The charismata of first Corinthians, have not ceased.
Dump Update
Again, I dont remember the context anymore.
I think this would have been an interesting article/conversation (like those who claim they can heal every sick person... those who blame the sick for not getring healed, etc), if I had the time to flesh it out... but such is life

A believer who lives by the code of the Holy Ghost knows the default setting and also knows when a virus has entered his/her system…scan, trash, disinfect. Let he that has an ear hear what the spirit says. Intimacy is key 🔑
Misrepresenting Christianity.
It is a fine line, but when you mainstream a secondary provision, you create false expectations & could sabotage people's faith in the process.
Unlike the upcoming Asaba clips, I don't anticipate any gbas gbos on this one.
Blessings!
Because you are by the mercies of God and through the Holy Spirit working the ways of the divine, there’s a level of confidence you will exude both in your speech and your conduct that carnal people will interpret as pride. Who’s fault is it?

Many years ago, the Lord committed into my hands the kingdom responsibility of facilitating the rebirth of true apostolic Christianity upon the landscape of Nigeria and, by extension, Africa & the world.
I am thrilled to inform you that numerous apostolic centres have been established throughout the nation, each dedicated to fulfilling this heavenly mandate.
Explore the attached flyers for comprehensive details on the diverse spiritual engagements taking place at each centre.

Like a security scanning device, the gift of discernment of spirit is seriously lacking especially among believers and even preachers of today. It has been replaced with subservience and sentiments. May God help us… #Musings#justsaying
