is the lighted candle used for confirmation and baptism
One reason for separating confirmation and baptism was to emphasize the distinction between acceptance of faith (baptism) and reaffirmation of one's commitment to the faith (confirmation). This separation allowed individuals to make a conscious decision to affirm their beliefs after gaining more knowledge and maturity.
The sacrament of confirmation is when a young member of the church who has received his/her baptism, first reconciliation, and first communion decides to become an adult within the church.
No, the Sacrament of Confirmation completes Baptism.
In the first years of the Church Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist were all celebrated in the same ceremony; this is how it is still done in Eastern Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy and Eastern Catholicism. As the Church grew, and presbyters rather than bishops were local leaders, the Church in the West began to separate Confirmation from Baptism. Confirmation was celebrated in each parish by the bishop as a sign of unity.
Baptism & Confirmation.
The Church sees it as working in conjunction with baptism. A Catholic has to be baptized first, before he can undergo confirmation. If baptism initiates a Catholic into the Church, then confirmation calls on the Holy Spirit to come more fully into the confirmant's life to make him a full, productive member of the faith. The term they often use with confirmation is that confirmants become "soldiers of God" in the rite of confirmation.
