They are like the one in James 5:14 who calls for the elders to come and pray over him and anoint him with oil, and the prayer of the elders heals him. (Note that he doesn't say "the prayer of faith heals him".)
The only faith he had, was in the elders.
That is Sense Knowledge faith.
He can see the elders. He can hear them pray; can feel their hands upon his head.
The Word actually means nothing to him.
Had he believed the Word instead of sending for the elders or asking anyone to pray for him, he would have looked up and said, "Father, you laid this disease on Jesus, and it is unseemly for me to bear it. I dishonor Thee in bearing it. So in the Name of Jesus, I command it to leave me, and I command Satan to take it with him. I have no use for it, and I refuse to have it."
In Jesus' Name he gets his personal deliverance.
He honors the Word, and the Name.
He honors the Father and Jesus.
He has learned to take his place in Christ.
