There is more to the story about Charles Finney. He had an intercessor, Father Nash who always went out well ahead of him and interceded before and during all of Finney's meetings. Seems this should be considered as important as what Finney declared. I'd say it was very important, because after Father Nash died, Finney stopped traveling and holding those meetings. Also, Tom kept saying how you have to bring the people to the meeting to be healed. Jesus told the Centureon in the Bible that He had not seen such great faith as he had, even in all of Israel. What did the Centurion do?. He told Jesus, you don't have to come to my servant, just speak the Word only and he will be healed. (A different way to look at these things) But amen.......this standing in proxy for someone is Not Biblical!
