Confirmation
The
sacrament of confirmation is found in Bible passages such as Acts 8:14–17,
9:17, 19:6, and Hebrews 6:2, which speak of a laying on of hands for the
purpose of bestowing the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 6:2 is especially important because it is not a narrative account of
how confirmation was given and, thus, cannot be dismissed by those who
reject the sacrament as something unique to the apostolic age. In fact, the
passage refers to confirmation as one of Christianity’s basic teachings,
which is to be expected since confirmation, like baptism, is a sacrament of
initiation into the Christian life.
We read: "Therefore let us leave the Elementary (ERE) (ERE) teachings of Christ and go
on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that
lead to death, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying
on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment" (Heb.
6:1–2).
