What are the bible passages that talk about Confirmation?

Question

I'm doing a Powerpoint on Confirmation and my teacher wants me to talk about the Confirmation bible passages. What are they?

Answer 1

Acts 8:14-17 - the people of Samaria were baptized in Christ, but did not receive the fullness of the Spirit until they were confirmed by the elders. Confirmation is a sacrament that Jesus Christ instituted within His Catholic Church to further strengthen those who have reached adulthood.

Acts 19:5-6 - the people of Ephesus were baptized in Christ, but Paul laid hands on them to seal them with the Holy Spirit. This sealing refers to the sacrament of confirmation.

Eph. 1:13 - Paul writes that the baptized Ephesians were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, in reference to confirmation.

Eph. 4:30 - Paul says the Ephesians were sealed in the Holy Spirit of God, in reference to the sealing of confirmation.

Heb. 6:2 - Paul gives instruction to the Hebrews about the laying on of hands, in reference to confirmation, not ordination. The early Church laid hands upon the confirmand to administer the sacrament of confirmation.

Heb. 6:2 - this verse also refers to the cycle of life and its relationship to the sacraments - baptism, confirmation, death and judgment - which apply to all people.

John 6:27 - Jesus says the Father has set His seal on Him. As the Father sets His seal on Jesus, so Jesus sets His seal on us on the sacrament of baptism, and later, in the sacrament of confirmation.

Rev. 9:4 - the locusts could not harm those with the seal of God upon their foreheads. See also Rev. 14:1 and 22:4.

The roots of Confirmation are found in Acts of the Apostles 8:14-17, "Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who went down and prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the holy Spirit." See also the Gospel of Saint John, chapter 14 where Christ speaks of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles

It is the work of the Holy Spirit to ultimately fulfill the high priestly prayer of Jesus: "I pray...that they may all be one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one" (John 17:20-23). The courage and vision to strive for this ultimate unity are the promise and grace of Confirmation: Sacrament of the Spirit.

Answer 5

There are really no Bible references to Confirmation. "Confirmation" was created by the Church so people could reaffirm their beliefs. There is however evidence that people took new names when they got new positions. Ex: Saul became Paul.

Answer 6

The straight forward answer is that Confirmation has no basis in the word of GOD. It is a totally man-made affair. It is not included in GOD's plan for our salvation. It is meaningless and utterly useless.

Answer 7

It isn't exactly mentioned in Scripture.

Howveer, the Cath. church adopted that term to referr to a day when young people become accountable to make their confession of faith in Christ.
