Look at one last example. The Book of Acts regularly reports healings taking place as the Good News is preached by the church. Luke also records an instance in which healings took place when the shadow of Peter passed over sick people (Acts 5:15). Healing should be understood as normative activity for the church, but shadow-healing is presented as an exception to the rule. Again, it is possible that this event could recur; if it does, we can praise God and thank him for His gracious intervention. It is not, however, presented in Acts as a standard, a requirement, or an indication of a level of spirituality that God expects of all Christians in all places at all times. Such reports in the Book of Acts show discernable patterns of belief and behavior, patterns that establish normativity for all Christians in all places at all times (Stronstad 1984, 8 and 2005, 8).
