Kind of. Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation, namely Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist. A person who has received all three of these sacraments is considered a fully initiated Catholic. A fully initiated Catholic can be: • A godparent • A Confirmation sponsor • A lector who reads scripture at Mass • An extraordinary minister of the Eucharist . • At Mass . • To the sick • A Sacristan • A Cantor • And many other ministries
Christ instituted the sacraments of the new law. There are seven: Baptism, Confirmation (or Chrismation), the Eucharist, Penance, the Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony. The seven sacraments touch all the stages and all the important moments of Christian life:1 they give birth and increase, healing and mission to the Christian's life of faith. There is thus a certain resemblance between the stages of natural life and the stages of the spiritual life.
In confirmation, the word of God symbolizes the deepening of one's faith and commitment to the teachings of Christianity. It represents the guidance and strength that believers receive from Scripture, affirming their relationship with God and the community of faith. This connection underscores the importance of living according to God's will and the transformative power of His word in the life of a confirmed believer.
There is no biblical significance for the number three in the Scripture except as a repetitive emphasis on a matter and a significant amount of time to do something. Biblical numerologists will have another opinion for every number.
The flame is significant to Confirmation because it is a symbol of the Holy Spirit, particularly as He was poured out upon the Apostles on the Jewish Feast of Pentecost. Scripture notes that on that day, tongues of fire appeared over their heads as the Holy Spirit was given to them and they were emboldened to go out and preach the Gospel. The Sacrament of Confirmation is a sort of Pentecost event in the life of a Catholic because it results in the Holy Spirit being poured out upon that person, and him being strengthened to live his faith with boldness and to be a soldier for Christ.

The word policeman is not in the Bible, as the word was not used in Bible days. The word used in the Bible is "authorities" or "those in authority", such as in this Scripture: 1Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Other words used were "principalities", "powers" and "magistrates", as in this Scripture: Titus 3:1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
