“And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases<\/em>” (Luke 9:1).<\/p>\n
“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover<\/em>” (Mark 16:17-18).<\/p>\n
“And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance<\/em>” (Acts 2:4).<\/p>\n
“Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they began laying their hands on them, and they were receiving the Holy Spirit. Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was bestowed through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money<\/em>” (Acts 8:14-18).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t
