I have no idea either if she was theater or not. My faith would not have endured in her presence because her mannerism makes me laugh too much.
Jesus did not have to use dirt and spit to put on the blind man's eyes. He could have just said....your eyes are now healed...and they would have been healed. It takes more for some people to have faith...and yes, there are many that do theatrical things to get people's attention but that has nothing to do with the simple faith in one's own heart.
However, we know that the antichrist will also use signs and miracles to entice believers unto himself. So this is where wisdom is most needed today. How to tell the difference is what we should be discussing.
