Tthe rituals of the church have real spiritual power. Baptism
cleanses the spirit. The spoken word, very powerful.
It says don't make vows we don't keep. Putting a curse on
ourselves on a spiritual level that will have to be atoned for.
Confirmation is much more than pleasing people by going
through the motions. It's a commitment to our Creator.

Confirmation is the perfection of the grace of Baptism they go together in eastern churches they are still bapized and confirmed immedately after baptism also adults who have neverbeen baptized are usually confirmed ritht after their baptism.
The renewal of the promises of baptism shows this connection, and it's also a profession of the christian faith.

You Openly and Unashamed accept Jesus as your Savior and that HE died for your sins on the cross Openly. Then he can recieve you before the father God in Heaven openly. Where we will be judged in the spirit form for not a man shall see God..
Hebrews 12:14 so from this point. Jesus died for the first Man Adam messed up with the snake an forbidden fruit next grabed to knowledge of good and evil and Jesus had to come and die in Adam form the flesh to reserect man from death and take the keys of hell. So all that is in Jesus hands and all we have to do is believe on Jesus for everlasting life. Do not think it is just live and die here we have to make a choice for doing good or doing evil and it is so tempting here... we try...even after we are baptised there is no thunder to stop us from doing wrong so we ask for forgiveness still. I hope this helps

first, baptism is taking after "John the Baptist" he baptized Jesus. and as a follower of Jesus, believers are baptized like he was. It is a promise to "follow" in his footsteps. You don't have to be baptized to be saved, it is just confirming that you want to be like Jesus.

For starters, many people were baptised when they were babies. Confirmation happens when a person is older - and thus, they are making the promises for themselves.

Could it have something to do with the ability to choose for oneself instead of having a Guardian/Parent answer for you as a affirmation of your personal free will?
