The Laying on of Hands
The Laying on of Hands
Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And God permitting, we will do so. (Hebrews 6:1-3)
How is this foundational to the Christian life?
Purpose: A physical act signifying the transfer of a spiritual reality
