Is Confirmation is just a repeat of Baptism?

Not quite, a child's baptism in Catholicism signifies their entry into the community of the Catholic Church and their cleansing of Original Sin - which Catholics believe everyone is born with. Confirmation signifies becoming a full member of the Church, as well as receipt of the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit.

What are the similarties between Catholics and Lutherans?

The namesake of the Lutheran Church is Martin Luther, a Roman Catholic monk who lived in Germany in the medieval era. He questioned Church authority on a few matters during his day which became the dividing factors between the two Churches. The Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran Church have many similarities. Both are theologically sacramentarian, both are historic and liturgical Churches (follow the order of the mass and the liturgical calendar), and both have episcopal forms of Church governance (while the Lutheran Church employs some congregational polity.) The Lutheran reformation, along with the Anglican reformation, was a "conservative reformation" unlike the Reformed movement, which is why the Lutheran and Anglican/Episcopal Churches more closely resemble the Roman Catholic Church, in belief and practice, than they do protestant Churches. Some Lutherans do not believe that the term "protestant" appropriately describes the Lutheran Church, due to implied associations with the Reformed and "Evangelical" Churches. While the Lutheran Church is not Roman Catholic, it is catholic. Some high church jurisdictions go by the label "Evangelical Catholic." The cardinal doctrine of the Lutheran Church is that salvation is by the grace of God alone and that man can do nothing to save himself by his own works; and that good works are the fruits of salvation, not a means to attaining it. Faith is the vehicle of that grace and is awarded as a grace from God himself. Thus, the mantra of Lutheran theology that the means of salvation is: "Sola gratia. Sola fide." (Latin for "only by grace through faith.") In 1999, the Lutheran World Federation and representatives of the Roman Catholic Church officially signed a joint declaration stating, "By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping us and calling us to good works." The Lutheran and Roman Catholic Churches continue ecumenical dialogues, but have been unable to totally agree on some matters of faith. Despite those theological differences, the two Churches continue to work together on charitable and humanitarian efforts throughout the world.

How does first fruits apply to us today?

Do the very best that you can, give of the best you have. That is all that is expected of you. The first fruits for the church are our tithes and offerings, or more correctly God's tithes and offerings. the first fruits of our total income each week, one-tenth of all we earn or is given to us to each week. we should give to the church to support its ministries and world evangelism. Malachi 3:10-12: because today only a few of us are farmers, therefore, we bring one-tenth of our gross income each week into God's Storehouse, the Christian Church. will a man rob God, yes he will, but how. in tithes and offerings Malachi 3:8: because he will not pay God's tithes and offerings to the church as God has commanded us to do.


Are mormans and christans the same?

Christianity is a general term, and Mormon is a more specific term. It is like asking if apples and fruits are the same. Yes all apples are fruits, but not all fruits are apples. Similarly, Mormons are Christian, but not all Christians are Mormon. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) consider themselves to be Christian, but NOT Protestant or Catholic. Rather, they belong to a third branch of Christianity, called "Restorationism." Many Protestants do not accept Mormons, Catholics, and others who believe in Jesus Christ but do not belong to a Protestant tradition to be Christian. Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and that He is the Son of God and the Redeemer of mankind. They believe that by being baptized they take upon themselves His name and therefore strive to live as examples of Him.
