SALVATION & OBEDIENCE 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; " ACTS 2:38,39 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized 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 Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

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" Not the opinion of my earthly employer but that of my heavenly: JESUS In case of Rapture don't look to hear from me 'cause Praise God!
