text: do you believe that god gives christians the same miracle working that jesus had?   jesus intended that his disciples and those that followed (even christians of today) would, through the gifts of his holy spirit spread the gospel with signs and wonders following.  acts 1:5-7 for john baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the holy spirit." so when they met together, they asked him, "lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to israel?" he said to them: "it is not for you to know the times or dates the father has set by his own authority.  act 14:3 so paul and barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders.  john 14:12-14 i tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what i have been doing. he will do even greater things than these, because i am going to the father. and i will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the son may bring glory to the father. you may ask me for anything in my name, and i will do it.
