Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(1Ti 5:22) “Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.”  To lay hands speaks of confirming one to the ministry. The laying on of hands speaks of evidence of approval, that the person is called and doctrinally sound. A minister is responsible before God for his actions of approving another. So, we are not to do so “suddenly”, without proper knowledge of the person.
