Are men allowed to lay their hands on sick women to pray for them?
Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Were only men being filled with the Holy Ghost in this account?
Act 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Act 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Was Jesus acting inappropriately when he allowed Mary to anoint His feet with her tears and dry them with her hair? What about when the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of His garment?
Luke 8:54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
