We see God using Paul to do miracles by cloth touched by him being taken to the sick and possessed by evil spirits. This is only recorded at this time; we don't hear of this later, it's an extraordinary miracle. This is done not because Paul has some magic words or knows some secret others can't know, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. In contrast, we have seven men who think they know the magic word, and it will give them power. Paul used this same name, so what is the difference? The difference is that one is part of God's kingdom and the others aren't. A Bible, a cross, a religious talisman, or even the name of Jesus won't help you if you don't have Jesus on the inside. IT isn't the cross or even the name, it is how they have changed your soul.
