March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”

Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

1Ti 5:22  Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

What does this portion exactly mean?

The reason why I'm asking is b/c let's say someone wants to get saved, is it biblical for the pastor(or whoever is praying with him) to lay his hands on his head?

I've also been studying a bit on this Kundalini nonsense infiltrating the churches, and these wolves are doing just that(laying their hands on their heads).

Anyhow, just need clarification what this portion of the passage means.

Holman Bible dictionary defines the LAYING ON OF HANDS as “A ritual act wherein hands are placed on a person or animal in order to establish some spiritual communion.” My note: This is Biblically done to transfer something from one living being to another whether it be sin, blessing, appointment, healing, or gifts of the Spirit.

When doing this, it’s vitally important to consider:

<begin pasta>
ON WHOM are the hands being laid?
BY WHOM are the hands being laid?
FOR WHAT REASON are the hands being laid?

CAUTION

There is, however, great need for wisdom to be exercised in ministering through the laying on of hands. Paul exhorted us to lay hands suddenly on no man.

1 Timothy 5: 22  Lay hands suddenly on no man. Why is this? It’s because people too often trust in their own understanding, their own spirit in the way they are led, rather than looking for inspiration from the Holy Spirit. In all things, particularly the Gifts of the Spirit, and specifically the laying on of hands, we MUST be led by the Holy Spirit. If the will of God is that you lay hands on someone, then you must be obedient. But be sure that you practice your gifts in subjection to the Holy Spirit, because it is the Holy Spirit that imparts the healing, that imparts the gifts of the Spirit, the authority or the Spiritual blessing. Without the Holy Spirit, the healing will not happen and someone’s faith might be destroyed – as is so often the case in the “Faith” Ministries where if someone is not healed, they are accused of not having enough faith!

<end pasta>

In practice, I’ve noticed that timing is everything. Long before the “laying on of hands” point in time, the Holy Spirit will have worked in the hearts of all involved, sometimes for years, preparing them for that moment. Much can go wrong if the “on whom” person isn’t ready or if the “by whom” person has been led into presumption or deceived.

2 Cor 11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

False spirits can take advantage of one’s misunderstanding or ignorance of the purpose and role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Thus the contemporary testimony of false tongues and kundalini impartations usually driven by social pressure within the church vice a true prompting from God.

On the other hand, I believe mercy and grace are in effect as follow-up testimonies show that God is faithful to correct those that seek Him. For instance, God’s Spirit will enable somebody with false tongues to recognize this fact, repent, renounce, and have that spirit removed.

One of the best series of sermons I’ve heard was on just the Holy Spirit, who He is, what His mission is, and how He works…all strictly derived from scripture.

Nice post ts. It's well put.

The Holy Ghost is the whole key to our salvation. It's the spiritual baptism, the circumcision of the heart, the sealing till the day of redemption, the seal of God, it is becoming "born-again". It is Jesus Christ in us.

"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" 2 Corinthians 13:5 (KJB)
