This is just to say “you’re going to introduce people to the Christian faith” rather than bring back deceased people

I hear you, but I have to admit it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not speaking literally when they've recently made the fantastic claim that they literally caused a woman's amputated toes to grow back.

Except the bible literally says that Jesus gave his disciples the power to cure all diseases, dispel spirits, and even raise the dead. In fact, he commanded them to do just that:

>Matthew 10: 5-8 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.
