TITUS 3:5       "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but
                 according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
                 regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; "

                 every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
                 remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of
                 the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to
                 your children, and to all that are afar off, even as
                 many as the Lord our God shall call."

ACTS 1:8        "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
                 come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in

                         THE HOLY SPIRIT
Joel 2:28
Ecc 11:4,5
Is 28:11,13
Ezk 36:26,27/37:9
Matt 3:11
Job 33:14
John 3:5-8/14:17,26/20:27
Mark 16:17
Acts 2:1-4,15,16,38,39/8:15/9:17/10:45,46/11:17,18/15:8,9,28,29/19:1-6
I Cor 14:2,4,14,15,22,27,28 "But if there be no interpreter,let him keep
silence in the church; and LET HIM SPEAK TO HIMSELF, AND TO GOD."
****Note**** There is a difference in the Gift of the Holy Spirit evidenced
by the speaking in tongues and the "gift of tongues". The Bible says when
one prays in the Spirit (unknown tongue) edifieth himself (verse 4) but 
when the church gets a hush over it and a person speaks out very loud in
an unknown tongue it is God trying to edify the church as a whole. One may
do this and then up to two more for a total of three but THEN there must be
an interpretation.
I Cor 2:13/3:16,6:11
Rom 8:9-11,26,27 
II Cor 1:22/3:17/4:3,4/5:5
Col 1:27
Luke 8:11/11:13/12:12/24:49
James 1:18
II Peter 1:21
Acts 1:8 "power" (the last request made by our Saviour before HE ascended)
Acts 20:28 Jesus is the Holy Ghost
I John 2:27/3:24/4:13/5:6
Gal 4:6
Neh 9:20
Eph 4:30 "sealed unto the day of redemption"
Jude 1:20 "But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost."

This should inspire you all to dig out even more verses about the gift of
the Holy Spirit......

                 The Doctrine of Laying on of Hands,   
                                      
Heb 6:1,2                            
Acts 19:11,12
Hands in scripture symbolize the persons themselves or their character. In
the Psalms David spoke of "iniquity in his hands" Ps. 7:3, "hands being 
taught to war Ps. 18:34 when in fact, your mind learns and your hands only
respond to what your mind commands your hands to do.
THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE TO THE USE OF HANDS:
Ps 24:4 .....He that hath clean hands can ascend to God
Ps 58:2 .....Violence of your hands
Ps 47:1 ......Clap your hands in praise
Ps 28:2 ......Lift up your hands in praise
Ps 73:23 .....God holds Davids' hands
Matt 4:6 .....Angels hands' will bear you up
The list goes on into the hundreds...
ONE EXAMPLE OF THE HANDS USED IN OATHS:
Gen 47:29
By putting Josephs' hand under his fathers thigh he was admitting that he
(Joseph) was a product of Israel (Jacob) and he was Jacobs seed; therefore
he could not betray his own self. For the loins or thigh are the productive
part of the body. 
BLESSINGS THROUGH LAYING ON OF HANDS:
Matt 19:13-15 Jesus blessed the little children
Gen 48:14-16 Jacob blesses Epraim and Manasseh
THE RIGHT HAND SYMBOLIZES POWER AND AUTHORITY:
Luke 22:69
Ps 110:1
Ps 118:15-16
Heb 8:1
Heb 10:12
I Peter 3:22
GENERAL SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:
I Cor 7:1 ...man not to touch a woman
I Tim 5:22 ...lay hands suddenly on no man
There is no supernatural power or extra special annointing in anyone's hands;
the power is in the prayer that is backed up by the life of the one doing the
prayer. The most serious thing about this is, "what is in you, is transmitted
onto the person of whom you lay your hands on, whether faith or unbelief."
Take for instance a person who has a weak spiritual life who lays their hands
on a person who has a strong spiritual life; the weaker one is blessed and the
spiritual one is weakened as if he/she was drained of the spiritualality they
had built up. The woman with the issue of blood drained spiritual power 
(virtue) from Jesus. The woman was healed when her faith extracted healing 
power from Jesus. (Matt 9:20-22; Luke 8:43-48)
****Note***** One can build up their spirit by reading/study of the Bible,
prayer, fasting and obedient lifestyle which each are a Bible study of them-
selves.
WHY LAYING ON OF HANDS?
The act of laying hands on someone is an act of imparting into one what is in
another. (Romans 1:11)
Deut 34:9
USE AND ORDER OF LAYING ON OF HANDS:
I Tim 5:22 (have consent of person)
James 5:14 Elders of the church
Mark 16:17,18 Every born again believer can as the Holy Spirit annoints;
lay hands on people of the world who REQUEST prayer for their body, soul, or
spirit with the laying on of hands.
II Sam 6:6-8              I Tim 4:14,5:22   II Tim 1:6
Acts 19:6,11-17           Acts 6:6          Mark 5:23,6:2,5
Acts 8:14-23              ****Note**** One should not lay hands on one
Acts 3:12,16              they suspect is demon possessed but rather "speak
Matt 19:13,15             the word" and "in the name of JESUS"
