The Elders, the Oil, and the Prayer: What James Prescribes Is Not What You Think, James 5:14-15
Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven., James prescribes a communal act of covenant restoration, not a formula for miraculous healing on demand.
