Who/What is the Holy Spirit? Is He divine? A person? What exactly does He do?

• I hear about spiritual healing (sometimes called faith healing or divine healing), but does Jesus still heal miraculously today?

• Medical researchers have recently been studying the power of healing prayers for the sick. Do the Scriptures address this subject?

• Some say that there are no more apostles since the end of the first century. What about those who claim there are modern-day apostles and prophets still today, in the 21st century?
