What does the sacrament of confirmation require of you?

Answer 1

All covenants should be made before conformation. The ordinance of confirmation is to confirm a person a member of the church, at which service a blessing is pronounced upon the person as dictated by the Holy Spirit.

In some churches a confirmation may be referred to as a sacrament and may be acceptable to the Lord as such.

Answer 2

It is when you make the decision to be a full pledged member of the church. In this sacrament you are sealed love of the Holy Spirit.

Roman Catholic AnswerConfirmation [one of the three Sacraments of Initiation] is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. (Cf. Roman Ritual, Rite of Confirmation {Ordo confirmationis},Introduction 1.) For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." (Lumen Gentium 11; cf. Ordo confirmationis, Introduction 2) (from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994)
