I am a full time missionary and I am sure that depending on who you ask, you will probably receive a different answer.
Yes demons exist. They are angels that have fallen from there original place in heaven, which was to honor and worship God.
Speaking in tongues is a gift from God, and yes many people speak and pray in tongues today, including myself.
Prophesy is also a gift from God, and is very relevant today.
And, most definitely God heals people all the time. I have seen God heal all kinds of sickness. I minister with someone who was healed from Down Syndrome!!!

***demons, tongues, healing, prophesy?
does all this stuff occur today or is this just stories in the bible?****
The fantastical, inexplicable, and down right miraculous does not happen much any more.
Some folks say it is because our knowledge has increased. I think the Master of the Universe just got tired of us and needed a rest.
Yes, it appears to be just stories and unbelievably unverifiable ones at that.
May the Good Lord have mercy on us all.

Yes it still happens today. We have helped several people be free of demons. We experience speaking in tongues on a regular basis, both personally and in our services as the Holy Spirit leads. Healing is something we believe in because it is in the Bible. I have experienced it and so have others. Prophesy still happens too. It is a gift to the church. Most churches are so out of touch with God and the Holy Spirit that they don't know these things are for today. .... but they are... Assembly of God churches and many others believe in all these things.

These things are still is with us. The speaking in tongues,healing and prophesy are O.K. But thing that bothers me are the Demons.... I dealt if one, once a long time ago. I almost died. If they have that much power, think how much more God must have.

actual Christians will understand that healing is of God not of guy so, no guy is going to place palms on you and you run off his point healed - yet God does nonetheless heal human beings in accordance to their faith in him and that he can and could. Tongues is the potential to communicate a foreign places language in any different case unknown to you and particular, there are circumstances that this present continues to be bestowed upon somebody - it fairly is not the utterings and such that many congregations emotionally rev themselves up into and then somebody starts off babbling out in gibberish looking forward to somebody else to return alongside and supposedly interpret it for something of the congregation - it fairly is not mandatory for the church's edification and became not a factor of the church that Jesus accepted. Prophesying as given interior the Bible additionally closes with the Bible until the top circumstances, which we at the instant are not at present in, opposite to many, now wealthy, Christian authors, whilst scriptures says that visions, targets, and prophesies would be back - yet whilst i'm not flawed it fairly is totally obtrusive this could be back to the Jews who have been given this interior the 1st place and not gentiles. So actual Christians understand the place their healing lies, their tongues, if ever expressed comes from, and their loss of might desire to be prepared approximately "present day-day prophets" are so as - in any different case, they have been deluded and could maximum probably hear - go away from me ye workers of iniquity.

Yes all this stuff is still with us today, but everything God does Satan counterfiets, so just because something is supernatural does not mean it is from God.
1st JOHN 4:1: Beloved believe not every spirit but try the spirits wheteher they are of God; because many false prophets are goine out into the world.

Yes, my golden retriever speaks in tongues the holy spirit speaks through him in the same way the Virgin Mary appears on grilled cheese sandwiches. Usually a Snausage quells the spirit of god.

Many religions believe all or most of these things happened in Biblical times and continue to happen today, because they are part of God's plan.
