When I hear that I see them as getting set up for a fall. It's about building a strong local church. When that's done right you can do all the street healing you want. It won't blow people up but will build them up.....
I totally agree with you. What I had issue with is the mentality that we need to bring them to a gathering to get saved. We need to present the gospel to them when they have an encounter with God, if they will allow us to. Those who believe will be saved right on the street. Then we need to baptize them and impart the baptism of the Holy Spirit to them. After that starts the process of discipleship and sanctification.
