Do we think they were all in perfect faith? That none had unforgiveness, bitterness, strife, or sin in their life? Yet HE HEALED THEM ALL. Now I will say this concerns the 'world'. Does it work the same way when we pray for Christians? I'm not sure. My jury is still out on that. Although that unbelieving pastor did get healed when Todd prayed for him. But where unbelievers are concerned, they are not required to have faith or be in agreement or whatever. Basically they just need to let you pray for them.
And as far as Nazareth because I'm sure that someone will bring it up, Jesus didn't lay hands on them and they weren't healed. They weren't healed because they wouldn't come to Him for healing because of their unbelief. He did get a few healed, those were the ones that let Him pray for them. But he could do no mighty work because most didn't come to Him for healing due to unbelief because they knew Him personally as Joseph and Mary's son.
