Get saved.......

And when you do, the Holy Spirit of God comes to live & dwell within you at that very moment of salvation
(Ephesians 1:13-14)

He (The Holy Spirit) doesn't come by the anointing of oil or by man's rituals......He comes through a repentant heart.

Not being brought up a christian, first thing I heard of confirmation was as a school girl in what was Rhodesia. It was an all female high school and half the class turned up looking like little brides maides, it was the early 70's so things have probably moved on. But I felt so niffed that I wasn't going to be confirmed. They were having the service the next day and were showing off their outfits. I gather it's something to do with demonstrating that you accept the teachings of the church and you make a vow and then everyone celebrates. It's like a religious coming of age.

Confirmation is the recognition that you are now spiritually an adult and freely take on the responsibilities of your faith.

Many Christian sects don't have confirmation and those that do each have their own interpretation of it. If you have questions ask your priest or minister.

In the Roman Catholic Church confirmation involves a special mass and a visit from the Bishop. It's a big event very much like first communion.

I will not lie to you, it is a very emotional experience, but you need not worry, there are all your friends and family there to give you support and help.

It does not take too long, and you should already have gone through the preparations.

Ensure you have plenty close friends attending your confirmation, as they will give you support and make you feel at ease at what can be a very emotional time.

Take strength in the fact that all people there, are there to support you into the Christian family.

May I wish you all the best, and I feel you will make a very good Christian, nothing to be ashamed of.

May our Lord be with you at this time.

My daughter is 14 and going through confirmation classes now. It might be different in different churches but her class consist of learning the answers to 150 questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, the 10 Commandments and the Lords Prayer. She also has to learn the Apostles Creed and the 23 Psalm.

I have lived in Belgium, where a confirmation is a good excuse to have a big meal. The highlight of the meal is a lamb, made of ice cream. The head is chopped of and out flows red wine.

Have a nice day.

It depends on which church you are being Confirmed in. I read an answer on here about what it takes to be Confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church and that's the only answer I know since I myself am Catholic. As for other religions. I don't know. God Bless You!

A very nice and pretty ceremony that doesn't get you into heaven. You need to ask your parents or priest what confirmation is supposed to be about besides the family get together.
This is not a good place for children to learn anything. Too many stinkers here.

Lesson 21: The Sacrament of Confirmation "Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John. Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost." (Acts 8:14-17) 1. What is Confirmation? Confirmation is the Sacrament which gives you the strength to be a good Catholic. This Sacrament completes and perfects the Christian life you begin at Baptism. 2. Who comes into your soul when you are confirmed? The Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity. "Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost?" (I Corinthians 6:19) 3. What does Confirmation do to your soul? 1. Confirmation gives you more Sanctifying Grace... 2. It gives you more strength to stay away from sin and lead a Christian life... 3. It helps you to be a loyal and faithful follower of Jesus Christ... 4. It gives you the strength to profess your Catholic Faith openly and not to hide it. 4. Can you get to Heaven without Confirmation? Yes, but it is more difficult. 5. Is it a sin to neglect Confirmation? Yes, it is a sin to neglect Confirmation. 6. Who gives Confirmation? Usually a bishop. 7. What do you have to do to receive Confirmation worthily? 1. You have to be a baptized Catholic, and... 2. have no mortal sin on your soul. You should also be well instructed in the Catholic religion. 8. Do you have to have a sponsor for Confirmation? Yes, but not the same one you had for Baptism. 9. How many times can you be confirmed? Only once. 10. What is expected of a confirmed Catholic? A confirmed Catholic, by his prayers and words and good example, should try to lead others to the True Church. 11. How is Confirmation given? In the traditional rite, the Bishop, holding his hands over those to be confirmed, prays for them and then makes the Sign of the Cross on the forehead of each one with the holy oil of Chrism. He then taps each person lightly on the cheek. 12. What words does the Bishop say while confirming? He says: "I sign thee with the Sign of the Cross, and I confirm thee with the Chrism of salvation, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." 13. What is Holy Chrism? A mixture of olive oil and balm, consecrated by the Bishop on Holy Thursday; it is a symbol of the strength received in Confirmation. 14. Why does the Bishop tap each one on the cheek? The tap on the cheek is to remind those confirmed that they must be ready to suffer all things, even death, for the sake of Jesus Christ. "Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake." (Matthew 5:11) PRACTICAL POINTS 1. Choose a good Catholic for your sponsor. You also have to select the name of another Saint for Confirmation (not the one you had for Baptism). 2. The Holy Ghost comes into your soul more fully when you are confirmed. He brings to your soul His Seven Gifts, which are: Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge, Counsel, Fortitude, Piety and Fear of the Lord. 3. A dying parishioner may receive Confirmation from his pastor if the Bishop cannot be reached in time.
