Why We Have the Laying on of Hands Ceremony - William H Ellis - April-May 1965

William H Ellis

What is the purpose for this ceremony? What does it MEAN in baptism? - in healing? - in ordination? Do YOU KNOW? WHEN you were baptized, hands were laid on you by God's servants for a real purpose. When you are anointed for sickness or injury, why are hands laid on your head during the prayer for healing? Whenever a man is ordained to an office of greater service in God's Work hands are laid on him. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
