[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 5237269, member: 65823"] Wrong. Simon the Sorcerer rightly observed, “that through laying on of the APOSTLES' hands the Holy Ghost was given” (Acts 8:18). What was given to Christians by the Apostles hands was the power to preform miracles to confirm what being taught was from God. Christians( your man Peter calls them royal priest, a priesthood that is spiritual, built up in a spiritual household (the church) had the ability to preform miracles by the power from the Holy Spirit via the Apostles. Why? There was no written word. How did people believe the gospel was the truth from God when they heard it being preached? What they taught was confirmed by miracles. That tradition was broken and has ended. Why? Only the Apostles hands could impart power to someone else. A person who had been given the ability to preform a miracle from an Apostle to establish the truth, could not lay their hands on someone and impart ability to do miracles. When the last person died that the last living Apostle laid their hands on, the "tradition" as you called it, died. Paul explains it all in 1 Cor. 12 &13 [/QUOTE]
