The fact that, after God had chosen Paul, the Apostles laid hands upon him to confer their gift goes a long way is supporting the passing on of the gift.

When did the Apostles do this??? Please refresh my memory --

“When did the Apostles do this??? Please refresh my memory”

Annanias, a disciple conferred by the Apostles... Acts 9: 17-19, “So Annanias went and entered the house, laying his hands on him, he said, “Saul, my brother, ...”

This follows Saul’s conversion by Christ.

Specifically, I had in mind Acts 13:1-3

"Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Symeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who was a close friend of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3 Then, completing their fasting and prayer, they laid hands on them and sent them off.

Hope that helps.
