BAPTISM
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.
The church isn't a sacrament. The Catholic Church HAS seven sacraments, not all of them are received. The sacraments are baptism, reconciliation, first communion, confirmation, hold orders, marriage, and anointing of the sick.
Baptism and confirmation are both sacraments in the Christian faith that are often linked together. Baptism is typically the first sacrament received, symbolizing initiation into the Christian community and the forgiveness of sins. Confirmation is a sacrament that usually follows baptism and is seen as a strengthening of one's faith and commitment to the Christian beliefs. In some Christian denominations, confirmation is considered a completion of the initiation process that begins with baptism.
Confirmation is a scrament that is normally taken as a young adult. Baptism, reconciliation, and first communion are all lead to a catholic by parents of a guardian. Confirmation is that person deciding whether or not they want to continue the catholic teachings of the church. Durning this sacrament the priest or bishop puts a cross of anointing oil on your forehead and blesses you with your chosen Saint name.
Communion typically comes before confirmation in the Catholic Church.
Communion- This is the religious sacrament where you take the Eucharist for the first time. After this, you are allowed to take the Eucharist at church every time. Confirmation- This is where you get another middle name. It must be a saint's name- Theresa, John, Mary, etc.- and it makes you officially a part of the church.
After confirmation in the Catholic Church, the next sacrament is typically the reception of the Eucharist, also known as First Communion.
After first communion in the Catholic sacraments, the next sacrament is typically confirmation.
To complete the sacrament of Confirmation, a Catholic individual must first undergo preparation through classes or a program. They must then choose a sponsor, attend a Confirmation ceremony, and receive the sacrament from a bishop or priest. Finally, they are encouraged to continue living out their faith through active participation in the Church community.
In the Catholic Church, the next is traditionally Confirmation.
Baptism is the first sacrament to be received. A person must be baptized before receiving the other sacraments.
To receive Confirmation one must be in a state of grace. One should receive the sacrament of Penance in order to be cleansed for the gift of the Holy Spirit. More intense prayer should prepare one to receive the strength and graces of the Holy Spirit with docility and readiness to act.
