Thanks for your reply.
If I believe in God, and believe he has spoken to people in the past (according to the Bible), then why would I think it strange if he also spoke to some guy I just met? If I believe that my wife exists, it wouldn't seem odd to me that she speaks to me. If I believe that my dog exists, it doesn't seem odd when she barks.
Well, you see your wife every day and your dog barks all the time, but miracles are a little more special. I live across town from a chemical plant that has the potential to blow up. I realize it could blow up, but I would still be a little shocked if it actually did. I know Jackson Hole Wyoming is a beautiful place, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be awed when I got there and saw it for myself. I believe God can perform miracles, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be amazed if he performed a big one right now.
Now there is an idea out there that miracles, healing, tounges, knowledge, discerning spirits, etc. were gifts that were taken away after the church got its footing (my previous pastor taught this), but I see no scriptural basis for this. So some people may have been taught that these things do not happen today, but I am learning of more honest Christians who have had these gifts even today.
