Laying on of hands is one of the principles
of the doctrine of Christ. In Hebrews 6:1,2
"Therefore leaving the principles of the
doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfect-
ion: not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith
toward God. Of the doctrine of baptisms,
and of laying on of hands, and of resurrec-
tion of the dead, and of eternal judgment."
