Why won't God heal amputees?

The Charismatic movement teaches that the death of Jesus Christ not only provided salvatio, but guarantees physical healing now!

The Assemblies of God is a large Charismatic denomination and in their statement of faith, they state it this way:

WE BELIEVE...Divine Healing of the Sick is a Privilege for Christians Today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).

12. Divine Healing
Divine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers.


If you have ever been to a healing crusade or watched a Charismatic preacher on T.V. then you are familiar with how this works. People are brought to the stage and claim that God has healed them from all kind of things - cancer, blindness, deafness, and many other things. However, what I find strange is that I have never seen a person who has lost their leg or one of their arms be brought up on stage and healed so the world can see. If physical healing is guaranteed for now, then why not heal amputees? Many have come back from the Iraq war and they have lost a limb and I have not seen one of them have their lost limb restored by some Charismatic who claims God has guaranteed healing now!

In fact, I listened to a sermon preached at New Hope Church in Abilene, TX, and the pastor made the following statement, "Healing is as easy to get as salvation!"

If that is true, how come amputees who become Christians remain amputees?

I know some Charismatic out there will claim that an amputee has been healed and that is fine. It should be easy to prove it. Get me a copy of the medical records showing the person was an amputee and then bring the person to me. We will take the medical records and the person to a doctor and confirm the miracle. If it is happening, I would think we would be seeing this on one of the many Charismatic T.V programs!

So charismatics, did God guarantee healing now for everyone except amputees?
