Barbara- it's possible; however, Jesus IS GOD, so when he breathed on them, he was giving them the Holy Spirit. A pastor is NOT God. IF the pastor has the Holy Spirit, and God so wills, the pastor laying hands upon or breathing on those who have received Christ CAN be the method God uses to Give the Holy Spirit to them. (If you read Acts; the apostles laid hands on people and the people received the Holy Spirit) Acts 8:14-17 - 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
