When did the Apostles do this??? Please refresh my memory --
The fact that, after God had chosen Paul, the Apostles laid hands upon him to confer their gift goes a long way in supporting the passing on of the gift.
“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.
"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.
