Confirmations

The ceremony of Confirmation is a matter not of “being confirmed” but of “confirming” the baptismal vows taken on one’s behalf when an infant. This is the essential significance of the Lutheran ceremony called in German “Konfirmation”, but in English “affirmation of baptism.”

The Rite of Confirmation provides an opportunity for the individual, relying on God’s promise given in Baptism, to make a personal public profession of the faith and a lifelong pledge of faithfulness to Christ. It is prepared for by long and careful instruction.
