is it only in the catholic church you get confirmed?

Answer 1

Catholic, Orthodox, Copt, Oriental Orthodox. All of the first century churches offer Chrismation or Confirmation as it is called in the West.

The sacrament of confirmation is found in Bible passages such as Acts 8:14–17, 9:17, 19:6, and Hebrews 6:2, which speak of a laying on of hands for the purpose of bestowing the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 6:2 is especially important because it is not a narrative account of how confirmation was given and, thus, cannot be dismissed by those who reject the sacrament as something unique to the apostolic age. In fact, the passage refers to confirmation as one of Christianity’s basic teachings, which is to be expected since confirmation, like baptism, is a sacrament of initiation into the Christian life.

We read: "Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment" (Heb. 6:1–2).

Most Protestant Churches abandoned it because only a bishop or a presbyter authorized by a bishop can perform it. Acts 1:46 describes the beginnings of apostolic succession. Mathias replaced Judas. Each Catholic bishop succeeds another in ordination. Each bishop can trace their ordination directly back to the apostles and consequently the calling of the Twelve.

Only Catholics, Orthodox, Copts and so on, the first churches, still have apostolic succession. Anglicans have confirmation in some parts of it, but they broke with the apostolic succession.

I suggest you read the scripture passages.

Since the word Christian means annointed one and only the first Churches still annoint in Chrismation (or Confirmation), only the ancient Churches still do what the word intends, annoint with the Holy Spirit.

Answer 2

A. Confirmation is a Sacrament through which we receive the Holy Ghost to make us strong and perfect Christians and soldiers of Jesus Christ and I believe it is only in the Catholic Faith but not 100% sure.

In both the Catholic Church and the Episcopal Church you get confirmed, the Anglican Church (UK version of the Amer. Episcopal) does it as well. It is a sacrament in both churches.

No. It's just considered a Sacrament by Roman Catholics.

Jewish and Protestants have some similar rituals. Jewish is Bar Mitzvah. Protestant is first communion. These are similar, not exact. Some use the adult Batpism as a similar element.
