<P> Pentecostals believe that prayer is central in receiving healing . Pentecostals look to scriptures such as James 5: 13--16 for direction regarding healing prayer . One can pray for one's own healing (verse 13) and for the healing of others (verse 16); no special gift or clerical status is necessary . Verses 14--16 supply the framework for congregational healing prayer . The sick person expresses his or her faith by calling for the elders of the church who pray over and anoint the sick with olive oil . The oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit . </P> <P> Besides prayer, there are other ways in which Pentecostals believe healing can be received . One way is based on Mark 16: 17--18 and involves believers laying hands on the sick . This is done in imitation of Jesus who often healed in this manner . Another method that is found in some Pentecostal churches is based on the account in Acts 19: 11--12 where people were healed when given handkerchiefs or aprons worn by the Apostle Paul . This practice is described by Duffield and Van Cleave in Foundations of Pentecostal Theology: </P> <P> Many Churches have followed a similar pattern and have given out small pieces of cloth over which prayer has been made, and sometimes they have been anointed with oil . Some most remarkable miracles have been reported from the use of this method . It is understood that the prayer cloth has no virtue in itself, but provides an act of faith by which one's attention is directed to the Lord, who is the Great Physician . </P> <P> During the initial decades of the movement, Pentecostals thought it was sinful to take medicine or receive care from doctors . Over time, Pentecostals moderated their views concerning medicine and doctor visits; however, a minority of Pentecostal churches continues to rely exclusively on prayer and divine healing . For example, doctors in the United Kingdom reported that a minority of Pentecostal HIV patients was encouraged to stop taking their medicines and parents were told to stop giving medicine to their children, trends that placed lives at risk . </P>
