This question is specifically for those who consider themselves "born again believers".

Sure they do. They usually happen to confirm the gospel on missionary trips or as a result of a healing ministry in church where someone has been given the gift of healing. But you have to remember that no person has the power to heal another person. God chooses when He will manifest his healing power for his own inscrutable purposes.
Consider how the Apostle Paul performed great healing miracles while he was spreading the gospel. And yet he talks about leaving a brother sick in Miletus, tells Timothy to drink a little wine for his often infirmities, and how Paul was sick when he preached in Galatia.
My Pastor's father was healed miraculously of a severe hernia that he received while working in a rail yard as a young man. The doctors told him that he would have to have surgery that would leave him unable to have children. So he went to a church where they had a healing ministry. Some brothers outside saw him trying to get there and they carried him into the church. But the woman who had the gift of healing saw them and she said "Put him down. If that man who says that God has called him to be a preacher wants to be healed, let him demonstrate it by his faith. Let him walk up here by himself and be healed."
He painfully made his way up to the front of the church and she said "Satan, loose this man in Jesus' name" and he was immediately healed just like in the book of Acts. He straightened right up and was totally cured. He went on to become a preacher and to father my Pastor.

Yes. Jesus said He is the same yesterday, today for forever. If He did miracles healing in the past, He will still perform them today.

I am not a born again believer.
Yes, I do believe in it, but I believe it comes from God and not through a man (or woman.)
I also believe it takes on a form different from what most people suspect, as we are often too blind to see the gifts of God because they are not what we want. (Meaning not what we were expecting.) My experience with depression is what leads me to believe this.

I don't think someone can heal like the Apostles did , but there is the prayer of faith .James 5:13-15

Yes. There is nothing new under the sun. Everything the original apostles could do can still be done today. As God wills.
