The laying-on-of-hands is a ceremony performed by the ministry on special occasions such as for the receiving
of God’s Holy Spirit after baptism, for ordination, and for other special
purposes. It symbolizes one’s submission to God and to the church, which is God’s instrument on earth. Such a ceremony is the occasion of God conferring a spiritual gift, blessing, or service to the person.
