Best Answer

In the Roman Catholic Church confirmation is regarded as a sacrament which gives the participant grace. Only the bishop confirms an individual. In the Lutheran Church confiirmation is only a rite in which the individual makes a public confession of the faith received at baptism. It is not a sacrament like baptism and Holy Communion or Lord's Supper. Confirmation follows a somewhat lengthy instruction in basic Bible doctrines.

Catholic first communion takes place at a younger age; otherwise they are similar in most ways.

Catholic confirmation is the third of a triad of rites of initiation, in other words they're all preparation, for entering into the Catholic Church. For children born into the Church, they go in this order: Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation. Adults entering the Church will simply receive them all at once. The main difference that I know of between Lutheran and Catholic confirmation as the age at which they're received, and the procedure of receiving it.

<SPAN style="POSITION: static" textContent="null">Catholic</SPAN> communion is administered at the age of reason, which is typically in 2nd grade. Communion is <SPAN style="POSITION: static" textContent="null">receiving</SPAN> the body of Christ into yourself completely and wholly. Confirmation is given at varying ages according to the dioces, but it is totlly different from communion. confirmation is re-stating what your parents said for you at baptism, for instance saying you reject Satan and accept Jesus Christ as the one true savior.

Lutheran AnswerLutherans believe a Sacrament is something commanded by Jesus. Biblically this would include Baptism and Holy Communion.

Catholics believe in 7 Sacraments, including Baptism and Communion, but also including things such as marriage.

Roman Catholic AnswerCatholic Sacraments were established by Our Blessed Lord when He established the Catholic Church in 33 A.D. as outward signs of real inward grace. The only sacrament that the Lutherans have managed to keep is baptism as even a unbaptized person validly baptised when he intends to do what the Church does when he baptizes. The rest were discarded by Martin Luther in the sixteenth century when he apostatized.

Do you have to be over 18 to be a sponsor at confirmation?

Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough your parish or diocese may have specific requirements for a Confirmation sponsor, I believe the only absolute requirement is that he or she already be Confirmed in the Catholic Church, in the same rite that you are seeking Confirmation.


What goes first baptism or confirmation?

It depends on when your diocese has chosen to celebrate the sacrament of Confirmation. In the United States, Confirmation can be celebrated anywhere between the age of reason (7 yrs) and age 16. So, if your diocese celebrates Confirmation in the second or third grade, then it will come before First Communion. But, if your diocese celebrates Confirmation in the eighth grade, then it would come after First Communion.


What is difference between catholic and Episcopal communion?

The difference in communion between Roman Catholic [R.C.] and Episcopal Church [E.C.] comes from the understanding of what happens at the consecration of the bread and wine. The R.C. church believes that the bread and wine physically change into the Body and Blood of Christ. However, the E.C. believes that the change is solely spiritual. Episcopalians still have bread and wine, but the Body and Blood of Christ is present spiritually, metaphorically.


When do Catholics celebrate confirmation?

Roman Catholic AnswerWithin the Roman Catholic Church, the age for confirmation varies widely depending upon two things. The first thing would be your Rite. The Latin Rite usually celebrates Confirmation between the ages of 12 go 16, although it may be younger, the second thing that it is dependent upon is your Bishop, he is the one who sets the age for confirmation.

What are the requirements of the Sacrament of Confirmation?

Roman Catholic AnswerYou must be a baptized Catholic. You should have made your First Holy Communion. There are some eastern Rites that Baptize and Confirm infants at the same time and immediately give them Holy Communion, I'm discussing Latin Rite Catholics here. Finally, you should be of an age where you choose to be confirmed, have been instructed sufficiently in the faith, and have recently made a good confession. If you receive the sacrament when you are in a state of mortal sin, you do not receive the grace of the sacrament. It is still given, but the grace will not be there while you are in a state of sin.
