Greetings Country Girl! Since Acts is the Acts of the Apostles, it only makes sense that every recorded instance involves the Apostles. :-) However, there is nothing in Scripture that limits the gifts of the Spirit to only those who were touched by the Apostles. It is difficult to base a doctrine upon narrative, rather than proscriptive passages. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

But we are in agreement on my main point...that there is no instance in the whole NT other than Acts 2 and 10, where christians manifested these powers WITHOUT the laying on of hands from the Apostles. Since Luke makes mention of this fact and the absence of any other source throughout the balance of the NT, it seems pretty clear to me. Does anyone else have an opinion or scripture to add to the discussion? Blessings to you. Country Girl |

Hello Country Girl; The fact that there is even one example of the gift being given without the laying on of hands by the apostles indicates that it can happen that way. Just because there are very few other examples of it happening that way does not indicate it doesn't happen or that God has stopped doing it that way. The Bible is a very small book to contain the ways of a Very big God. Just because something is not repeated over and over and over again it does not void an issue. Blessing to you. |
