Differences between True and False Healers

Kalashnikova T.P. "True and false healings".

Qualitative characteristics	Russian Orthodox faith healers	False miracle workers
Moral character	Humility, meekness, respecting others before self, fear of God, modesty, truthfulness	Pride, arrogance, vanity, sometimes outward religiosity, guile, affectation, desire to be exalted, to attract, to seduce
Attitudes toward the reward for treatment	Non-acquisitiveness, gratuitousness	Pursuit of profit, gain, wealth, luxury, commerce
Attitude to publicity	Hiding one's gift of miracles and hiding positive results	Promoting successful cases of treatment, seeking publicity, self-glorification, and fame
Methods of treatment	Prayers, anointing sick body parts with holy oil, laying hands; using sacred objects, the sign of the cross, sometimes herbs, and holy water. Gentle calm voice, no violence	Hand manipulations, passes, non-contact massage, staring, incantations, conspiracies, shouting, elements of violence, suppression of other people' will, hypnotism, magnetism, etc.
Positive effect is caused by	divine grace through the faith of the patient and the healer's special divine gift	By natural causes, sometimes by coincidences, through self-hypnosis, faith of the patient, or through forces of a non-divine (demonic, mortal world)
The emergence of the gift of miracles	As a consequence and reward for righteousness, prayerful deeds, fasting, humility, while denying from following one’s own will	Often it is spontaneous just because of a longing for recognition as a miracle worker
The nature of healings	Healings are complete: both physical and spiritual, connected with the revival or strengthening of the healed person's true faith. It is possible to heal from all diseases and even to raise from the dead	Healings are only of an external nature, covering the physical aspect, but spiritually they have a negative impact
Side effects of healing	None	Multiple, mostly of a mental, spiritual kind. However, sometimes they can remain undiscovered for a long time.
