The laying on of hands is found within scripture from the Old Testament to New Testament. There is the idea in some parts of Christianity that it's no longer applicable but is this true? What is the laying on of hands and its purpose? Can anyone perform it? Let's look at God's word where the laying on of hands occurs to understand the purposes for which is used, and the blessings it brings!
