Amos, you misread my message. I didn't say that teaching, prophesying, and healing were Christian attributes, I said that they were Christly attributes - i.e. attributes of Jesus Christ Himself. And I never claimed that they were exclusive to Him either.

Sorcha - Although there are many sects of Christians who don't formally believe in miracles or at least in the continuance of miracles since the days of the Apostles, there are some who do. What they worry about, in terms of magic and the occult, is from what source does the power to do any particular miracle by any particular individual spring, God or the Devil? Of course if you don't believe in either one, or if you believe in only one or the other, it doesn't much matter to you, does it?
