In other paces laying on of hands and impartation of the Holy Ghost are not connected. From what I see, laying on of hands could be associated with healing (Elijah, Jesus, Paul, James?) or as a form of commedation or ordination (1 Tim. 4:14, 2 Tim. 1:6-7)
.
Laying on of hands is specifically the transfer of the power of the spirit, and absolutely nothing else.
