I would rarely simply lay hands on someone, I would always say \u201cif you want to receive the Spirit lets open the scriptures together, lets see why you should think you will receive. On what basis you receive, so people\u2019s faith and understanding is rooted in the Bible, if they say yes I\u2019m ready I will lay hands on them.
