Healing

The gift of healing was given to the Apostles to show that they were continuing the Message of the Kingdom. Otherwise everyone would have been proclaiming a message and mostly a bad message. The power of the Apostles demonstrated that their power came from God and that their message should be believed
The author of Hebrews agrees with you, as he stated to us that the Apostles had confirmed Jesus by their signs and wonders, but now that they were still being continued forward!

No, rather that God did those signs and wonders for a season, for a definite purpose and reason, and not required now!
Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. - Hebrews 11:6

God always answers according to what he wants to do ,not what we try to force Him to do "by faith"

Then those miraculous claims of being REGENERATED/healed from total depravity are FAKE.

Thanks for admitting.

But the scripture says the violent take it by force... And

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. - matthew 18:19

I would also say here that if I had a need that I would not want anyone praying for me who could not come with a spirit of agreement and faith.

Matt 16:4 words of Jesus “a wicked and adulterous generation seeks after signs”. He then goes on to speak of the resurrection

Pretty simple

Does you church believe in divine healing? Do you see miraculous healing on a regular basis? If not, why not? The Bible says we'll do greater works than those miraculous healings seen in New Testament times. I don't see that today, except for the purported healings in charismatic circles. Even taking into account that maybe some of those are not genuine, I believe most are. Why would anybody lie about such a thing?

If we're not seeing in our churches the kinds of miracles that happened in the New Testament churches, isn't this a dead Christianity, or at least very lacking?

Not only does my fellowship believe in divine healing. Healing has been witnessed over the years. If it is in need of His touch, prayers will manifest His healing attention and touch!

What sayeth the father?

And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. - Matthew 17:14-16

What sayeth the Lord Jesus Christ?

Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. - Matthew 17:17-18

I can picture the Lord Jesus shaking his head at those unwilling to pray for the sick these days and saying..... Oh ye of little faith! And...

When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? - Luke 18:8

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,.. - 2 Peter I:4

Partaking in the divine nature includes ministering to the sick.
