[Invincibly Ignorant]

I believe that the laying on of hands in Acts is a description of what we now call Confirmation, which is the sacrament in which a baptized person who had been properly instructed in the Faith, receives the seven fold gifts of the Holy Spirit

This practice could be problematic in that some have different gifts of the Spirit at different times in their life. For example, one might not posses the gift of "the word of knowledge" in their 20's but all of the sudden they have it in their 40's. So having one ceremony whereby one receives a 7-fold gifts of the Spirit package seems too ridgid and formal to me. We as christians should make it a continual practice to lay hands on and pray for one another.

I wholeheartedly agree.
