There is a question on here about the importance of fasting.
But this is different because I want to know what denominations don't believe in fasting and why they think that its not important. I personally have great faith in fasting and in the power of fasting such as found in Mark and Matt, when the 12 have tried to cast out a devil but failed.
> Mark 9:28-29, 28, (end of verse)...Why could not we cast him out?
>29, And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
>
>Matt 17:21 Howbeit this kind goes not out but by prayer and fasting.
Which is a clear example of where the disciples could not do something unless they fasted and prayed for the power to do it first.
Edit:
Changed as per the comments.
