Is the Anointing a Ceremony?

John, Good Morning.

You answered my question Sunday morning, when reading some scriptures in Acts, but that brings me to my next question: If a person has to be anointed to perform an act, is that a ceremony?  I am thinking not.

No, Wendell, the anointing of God is not a ceremony in this covenant, as it was in the old one.  Now, the anointing to do anything in God’s kingdom is in the Spirit, and by the Spirit alone.  In the Old Testament, physical oil was used to anoint someone, but not now.  No rituals exist in God’s kingdom.
