Regarding The scripture in question, namely the Ananias scripture in Acts 9, it doesn't matter whatsoever because, as stated, he DID NOT, impart the Holy Spirit at all by the laying on of his hands; he only restored Paul's sight.

Bottom line since you keep dancing around. Paul DID NOT receive the Holy Spirit in any way shape or form via the laying on of Ananias' hands. He only received his sight as he stated in Acts 22. He did however, receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, the indwelling of the Spirit upon baptism which...

And what did Paul say in Acts 22:13 when he retold the account. "Receive thy sight" and not be "filled with the Holy Spirit". Ananias was correct in saying that Paul would also receive the Holy Spirit, but not by the laying on of his hands, but rather upon being baptized. Ananias simply restored...

It's super clear. Ananias laying of his hands did not impart the Holy Ghost as did the apostle's laying on of their hands, as you inferred, that he wasn't an apostle yet the Holy Ghost was imparted to Paul by the laying on of his hands; NOT SO. As Paul stated in Acts 22, Ananias was to ONLY...

The point is, you misinterpreted the Ananias issue.

Read the rest of my posting and carefully read what happened and what was said by him and Paul in Acts 22. It's pretty clear

Be careful in reading too much into this. You must look at what Ananias said as opposed to whst the Lord said for him to fo as well as Paul's recount of the event in Acts 22. Look at Acts 9:17-18 and what Ananias said and note that Paul was baptized afterwards at which point he did receive the...

2 Timothy 1:6 6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands Paul was referring to himself being the presbytery who laid hands on Timothy in 1 Tim

2 Timothy 1:6 6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands Paul was referring to himself being the presbytery who laid hands on Timothy in 1 Tim

Yes, but who is the presbytery Paul is referring to? I know but do you? The answer is in another scripture.

There are no requirements for laying on of hands to "qualify" them. What scripture(s) say that? Pastors are the church leaders, the shepherds of the local congregation, and there should be at least 2 since it's plural in scripture. Elders are selected by the congregation, "qualified" by the...

2 pastors (elders) 1 minister/preacher

Yes, church services as scripturally required

Don't need them. I have the scriptures which they didn't have to guide and enlighten. If the word of God is complete then anything added beyond it is both unnecessary as well as contrary to scripture since God's written word would not be complete.

Except there is no biblical evidence other than the apostle's hands being the instrument of implementing or enabling the gifts.

You're correct, partially. It is referring to the maturity of the body of Christ which when mature, the perfect man as it's biblical correlation, the gifts are no longer needed. However, the gifts were enabled by the laying on of the apostle's hands according to biblical accounts except for...

Doesn't matter who supports or doesn't support a scripture such as 1 Cor 13:8-10; it's God's word that says what it says and can't be ignored or erased by someone's disbelief of it. The scripture says all gifts will cease. When? When that which is perfect should come, and what is "that which is...

And what about spiritual gifts? 7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

What exactly is the point you're trying to make?

So, he (Christ) came in their lifetime? Read it again. Your inference is an incorrect understanding of "the day of the Lord" as written about in and to the Corinthians. The letter, as stated, was written to them, in their time, regarding their issues, and was meant to likewise have pertainance...
