A man wants to pray for someone. and has asked everyone that was in his house to do this.

He calls the the sick person out. This sick person has said many times he dose not want prayer with a lot of people, he dose not like that.

But the man said that not the way it is done.. So he calls everyone in his house over to the sick person told eveyone to touch him or someone that is touching him and we would agree that he is HEALED THIS VERY MINUTE.

Question- If the sick person did not want a lof of poeple praying for him at one time, was the man wrong to call him out>?

I would say he is not respecting the wishes of the other person. Good intentions gone awry.

I'd say it's rude. I wouldn't say it is malicious. Ignorant and yet, hopefully, helpful in spite of it.

that is rude, though it may have been good intentions, you have to respect people. I would not have liked it had that been me!

Inappropriate, and is probably most effective in pushing someone away more than seeing God move, God can touch them regardless of who is touching them, or touching something that is touching them, that's all tradition.

Don't get be wrong, I like it, and I do believe coming together in prayer can be a powerful thing, but we're limiting God if we feel that's the ONLY way to do it, and we are not showing His love, when we are forcing things on a person against their wishes.
