It could very well be.
I've personally seen the mention of His name do amazing things. If the Spirit is operating fully within a person, they are overflowing with His love, power and glory. It then flows out to other people. It's not the person, but God working through that person. It is a very humbling and awesome experience. It is according to His will, and not under our control to be used anytime we want. The tangible evidence to me is the experience, and the immediate change within the other person. They know something has just happened. One jumped up, bounced around and looked shocked. I'm still in awe of this amazing, living God we serve. I think most of the gifts of the Spirit operate in like manner. It is not about us... it really is all about Him. He is deserving of all our love and praise. To God be the glory.

The Placebo Effect mixed with mass hypnosis. If you check on the healed you will find that almost all are either faking or have relapses after the session. I think they use the same drugs as the Xuxa cheerleaders feed Brazilian kids to keep them hopping.
If it was real, they would market it and get a FDA approval. If you must go, be sure to attend the ones that give away toaster ovens, Ginsu knives, or subscriptions to Reader's Digest.

It is an individual experience. It is very easy and natural for a spectator to question and doubt as you have. Some of those have suffered chronic pain for years, and medicinal means have failed, and immediately can feel the healing.
It is easy to question for evidence, and yes there are clinical evidence issued by doctors to show the before and after.
There is no claim by anyone that it is 100%.
Faith varies in degrees among every individual.
Of course there is no denying there are possibility of fakes around so please be careful to discern.

Hi there - (its snowing like crazy in Philadelphia, PA)
Anyway, i'm christian, and I gotta tell you, please be careful about these side-show Joes;
I think alot of times, even if the person thinks they are healed, it is only because the guy and the crowd has them on such an emotional "high" that their minds make them think they feel better. Only God knows for sure, though.
But one thing is for sure: they are making loads and loads of money doing it.
The name of Jesus Christ is an awesome power, thats true. Lets let God sort out the ones who really heal, and the fakes; that way, we can know it will get judged correctly.
However, I really advise that you do not send money to any of them. Alot of the healing ministries you see on tv, when they are not doing the healing side-show, they are begging for your donations.
Jesus specifically told His disciples NOT to take a money bag - do not ask for money.
Any ministry that needs to beg for donations is not a ministry of Christ. If the ministry is doing the work of Christ, you can bet Christ will be sure to see to it that the ministry stays well in function. If not, it will go under. period.
This is what separates the true believers from the fakes. Either you fully believe, or you don't. It really is that black and white.

No, there is no tangible evidence. There is nothing more than the beliefs or the statements of those who were healed.
If there were any tangible evidence for such spiritual events, then the knowledge of them would be "science" and not "faith." All matters of religion and spirituality are based on FAITH, which means that they are things people BELIEVE. There is a difference between believing something and knowing something. We believe spiritual things, we know scientific things.

You would really have to ask these people. All I know is with God nothing is impossible. I have seen it happen in others lives and have witnessed it in mine.
It does sadden me that there are some who will fake these things just so everyone else will dig in their pockets alittle deeper and well you get the drift...
But not all are fakes and Jesus certainly isn't fake.

Notice how none of them were cured of anything proveable. Show me an amputee suddenly growing a new limb. But, let me inspect the missing limb beforehand. Surely there are people willing to do this. Then I might believe it.

The great controversy is all about worship. You either choose to worship the creator (His name is YHVH) and the Savior He sent, who's name is YAHOSHUA, or by default you worship the other one (Satan). The times of our ignorance He winked at, but now He calls all to repent and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Either they are fakes or it's like the emporers new clothes - they say their healed because they are afraid people might think they are not saved.

If you say Jesus 3 times in a mirror at the top of the stairs you can see him ascending to get you.
