Is God still doing miracles today? Because of the many claims of charismaticism, a rather detailed biblical study of the matter is warranted. We defend the following conclusions: • Modern “miracle workers” cannot demonstrate the attributes of biblical ones, and are lying when they claim similar gifts. • There are no God-sent miracle workers in Scripture that were not also sources of new, direct, divine revelation to be believed and obeyed as the word of God. • The faith to perform or receive a miracle is just as supernatural and God-given as the miracle itself, and modern “faith healers” are wrong to blame disappointed followers for their lack of such faith. • The Church has universally testified that the gifts of miracle working ceased in the early Church with the completion of the NT. • The fraud in the modern miracle movement has been immense. •Other legitimate explanations for modern “miracles” are intriguing and even alarming.
