Do any Christian groups pray for the sick to get healed of medically incurable diseases?
score:0
Accepted answer
As someone who comes from a denomination that continues to anoint with oil and pray for the healing of the sick, there is no disease that we do not pray for. Christians pray not only for little things like colds, and major things like blindness and polio, but even for the dead. We believe that God can and does heal the sick today in his name, although he often chooses not to in this lifetime. Cases of the blind and deaf improving after healing prayer are noted towards the end of this article. An example of someone raised from the dead from my denomination can be found here.
