John 14:26
But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative--that is, the Holy Spirit--he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
Jesus also taught it was better that the Holy Spirit come to be with us than for him to be physically present with us:
John 16:8
But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don't, the Advocate won't come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you.

bearbear what can I say? If you've personally witnessed these kinds of gifts and miracles, or been personally involved in them, then I'll give it serious attention. But if what you've got is second, third, or fourth hand, then I'm not going to be inclined to put much stock in it.
Also, I'll even be disinclined to put too much stock in what you personally witness.
The reason I said call James Randi is because he's had a million dollar offer to anyone that can prove a supernatural event that he can't figure out their trick or tricks.
And he's debunked many of the Pentecostal claims, and performances, and has figured out their tricks and scams.
He's had the million dollar offer for decades and so far no one has taken the prize, and there's been many attempts.
Hey if your church is in need of a million dollars then they should call Randi, preform some miracles, that he can't figure out that tricks are going on, or natural causes for, and collect your million.
Good luck with that.
