Article has nothing to do with the movie or its context. In the movie, a little girl is terminally ill. She falls and bangs her head, and, miraculously, is cured.
The article is about preachers claiming to be able to cure disease and illness with a few prayers and a flick of the wrist.
You must be of uncommon faith for those techniques to work, as the leper and blind man. For a miracle to happen, we'll it's nothing more than chance. The more faith you have, the higher the chance of your miracle comming to pass. As was the case in this movie.
He works in mysterious ways and only a fool will claim to understand His means, methods and plan.
I have a cousin that had a brain tumor that was inoperable. The POS is still living till this day. He went in for a check-up one day and they told him it was shrinking. This was 14 years ago and it hasn't came back. He still smokes crack and weed and has never had a job in his life and never has walked into a church. Why didn't they make a movie about this? Guess it wouldn't be a very good story. Lol

And cliff notes please as that link is a lot of reading.
God isn't a cosmic vending machine waiting for you to have enough faith to move Him to obey your demands for a miracle.

I think the point is to simply support Christian based movies...if it's not your cup of tea, move along...

Me thinks you haven't seen the movie and are way off on its context.

Your comment above has no bearing on the movie...I'm lost as to where you are coming from.
This is the original much-used short tract on Ten Reasons to Reject Word of Faith Teachings, on the Banner Ministries site. Come here first and see the tract in context!!

My faith in God isn't contingent on some sign or miracle. Conversely God's ability to perform a sign or miracle isn't contingent on my ability to have enough faith.
