What we believe and teach - The laying on of hands - |
The laying
on of hands is an act through which hands are laid on another person in the
name of Jesus Christ, so that he (the one on whom hands are laid) may be
healed, or filled with the Holy Spirit, or may be ordained to serve as a
bishop or as a deacon, or may be commended to the grace of the Lord for a
certain work to which the Lord has called him. Both Jesus and the apostles
practiced the laying on of hands. The laying on of hands must not be practiced
hastily. |
