No. We began with healing because it is perhaps the easiest example to see. Tangible virtue flows from one person to another. Real change results. This same principle operates in regard to the impartation of spiritual endowment in several areas:  

Through the laying on of hands “spiritual gifts” are imparted.

Spiritual gifts are not always given directly by God; many times they are mediated through the laying on of hands by other believers. A real transaction takes place-just as real as physical healing. The person suddenly finds he has a whole new spiritual dimension added to his life. His creativity has become enlarged.  

For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established (Romans 1:11).  

Through the laying on of hands authority is imparted.

A “charge” is more than a challenge; it is also a real stimulation of the inner man. Spiritual resources are imparted that stimulate into action previously untapped areas of ability. The one receiving such a charge finds he is no longer acting on his own, but God is “with him” in such a marked way that others respond to his leadership. Impartation has added weight and significance to his words and deeds.  

And Joshua the Son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the lord commanded Moses (Deuteronomy 34:9). 

Through the laying on of hands people are set apart for specific ministry.

Functioning in the Body of Christ is not an optional, haphazard thing. God has designed us each to fill a specific place. Through the laying on of hands by ministers working with God, we are set into our God-ordained positions.  

 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them (Acts 6:6).
