Administrators Gail Posted March 18, 2014 Administrators Posted March 18, 2014 Is anyone allowed to do anointings or is that reserved exclusively for priests/pastors? Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted March 19, 2014 Members Posted March 19, 2014 I don't think there's any biblical injunction about who specifically can perform an anointing, so I suppose anyone would be allowed.... (though I wouldn't have a clue how to go about it) Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Administrators Gail Posted March 31, 2014 Author Administrators Posted March 31, 2014 I was just reading in Mark 6:13 where it says that the disciples went out anointing and healing. So they were allowed as well. The context doesn't mention any special laying on of hands ceremony, although it does say that Jesus gave them authority to do what they did when they went out two by two. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
JoeMo Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 If we are believers, aren't we counted as a "royal priesthood" (1Peter 2:9) and "priests and kings" (Rev. 1:6)Aren't priests and kings empowered to annoint? Quote
