You renew the baptismal promises made by your Godparents for you at Baptism. You are, basically, 'confirming' those promises and your own desire to be a Catholic.

What does baptism and comformation mean?

It depends on the denomination. In some denominations, baptism is done to babies and in others only to older children or adults. It is done either by immersing the person in water or pouring water over their head. This symbolizes their being reborn in Christ and means that they are officially a Christian. Some denominations do not require baptism and others do. Not all denominations perform confirmation. In denominations that baptize babies, confirmation typically happens later, as an older child or adult. In denominations that baptize older children and adults, confirmation usually takes place shortly after baptism. How confirmation is done and what it means varies from denomination to denomination. It is usually done by the laying on of hands, sometimes after being annointed with oil. It is seen as a sealing of the baptism or as a coming of age ceremony. Some denominations also believe that after being confirmed, a person has the right to receive spiritual gifts and personal guidance from God.

What are the five basic rituals in the sacrament of Confirmation?

.Catholic AnswerIf confirmation is separated from Baptism, it begins with the renewal of baptismal promises and the profession of faith. Then the bishop extends his hands over them and invokes the outpouring of the Spirit. The essential rite follows: in the Latin rite, confirmation is conferred through the anointing with chrism on the forehead, laying on of the hand, and the words: 'Accipe signaculum doni Spiritus Sancti" [Be sealed with the Gift of the Holy Spirit.]." (Paul VI, apostoloic constitution, Divinae consortium naturae, 663.) The sign of peace concludes the confirmation.

Why are people baptized in a Church?

This is a fairly short answer to a very complicated question. First, let's assume we are talking about water baptism. Some Christians talk about spirit baptism. That is a whole other complicated issue. Three main views on water baptism would include: 1. Water Baptism is part of regeneration. That is, baptism is part of the salvation experience. Without this ritual, one cannot be with God. 2. Water Baptism is a purveyor of grace. Baptism may not save or be part of the salvation experience in the strictest sense, but God gives sacramental grace for the action. 3. Water Baptism is an act of identification. When one decides to follow Christ one publically carries out baptism as a way of identifying with Christ and the church. The first two of these would focus on baptism as a spiritual ritual. The third would focus on baptism as a symbolic ritual. The early church practiced two main rituals. These were Baptism and Eucharist (or Lord's Supper). Some Christian groups have added more over the centuries. There may be other views (especially as one broadens one's definition of Christian), but this is a start.
