If the Bible gives instructions, we simply follow them.
James 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:
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.
The power is not in the anointing, but in the faith of the recipient.

Are you back again?
As a matter of fact, my mother was in the hospital one time, after having a heart attack. she had diabetes, and her eye sight was suffering as a result. she had blurred vision.
We called the missionaries in, to administer to her, and give her a blessing for a swift, and sure recovery. They blessed the oil, and anointed her head with it, and said the prayer. Some of the oil ran down her forehead, during the prayer and into her eyes, and for the rest of the evening, she had PERFECT eye site.
She had a complete recovery, and came home the following week.
Scoff if you like, I care not, I was there, and I saw it. I'll never forget it. I was 12 years old.
So yes, they have the power and the authority, to do laying on of hands.

Yes. If it sounds strange think of it this way. It sounds like you believe that when Christ was on the earth He and His Apostles had this ability, if that is the case don't you think Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father would want us to have that opportunity when needed, to be healed by His power? It's done through the Priesthood, God's power on earth. With adequate faith and the power of the Priesthood, one can be healed.

Yes we as Latter Day Saints believe in the laying on of hands and anointing the sick.
