“MY CONFIRMATION”

(in ‘christian denominations’ that practice ‘infant baptism’, confirmation is seen as the ‘sealing’ of ‘christianity’ created in ‘baptism’)
(those being confirmed are known as ‘confirmands’)
(in some ‘denominations’, such as the ‘anglican communion’ and ‘methodist churches’, ‘confirmation’ bestows ‘full membership’ in a ‘local congregation’ upon the ‘recipient’)
(in others (such as the ‘roman catholic church’), confirmation “renders the bond with the ‘church’ more perfect”, because, while a ‘baptized person’ is already a ‘member’, “reception of the ‘sacrament’ of ‘confirmation’ is necessary for the completion of ‘baptismal grace’)
(‘roman catholics’, ‘eastern orthodox’, ‘oriental orthodox’, and ‘latter-day saint’ churches view ‘confirmation’ as a ‘sacrament’)
(in the ‘east’ it is ‘conferred’ immediately after ‘baptism’)
(in the ‘west’, this practice is usually followed when ‘adults’ are ‘baptized’, but in the case of (‘infants’ not ‘in danger of death’) it is administered (ordinarily by a ‘bishop’) only when the child reaches the ‘age of reason’ or ‘early adolescence’)
(among those ‘catholics’ who practice ‘teenage confirmation’, the practice may be perceived (secondarily) as a “coming of age” rite)
(‘latter-day saint churches’ do not practice ‘infant baptism’, but baptize only after the “age of accountability” is reached)
(right after they chase away all virile teenage males and marry all teenage girls off to middle-aged men)
(or in many cases, “MAN” the singular)
(*cue ‘the lost boys’*)
(talk about ‘cuck’ to a whole new level!)
(that’s ALMOST as bad as that one ‘british dad’ (*insert link*))
(‘confirmation’ occurs either immediately following ‘baptism’, or on the following ‘sunday’)
(the ‘baptism’ is not considered ‘complete or ‘fully efficacious’ until ‘confirmation’ is received)
(in ‘traditional protestant denominations’ (such as the ‘anglican’, ‘lutheran’, ‘methodist’, and ‘reformed’ churches, ‘confirmation’ is a ‘rite’ that often includes a ‘profession of faith’ by an ‘already baptized person’)
(it is also required by most ‘protestant denominations’ for ‘full membership’ in the respective ‘church’, in particular for ‘traditional protestant churches’, in which it is also recognized secondarily as a ‘coming of age’ ceremony)
(‘confirmation’ is not practiced in ‘baptist’, ‘anabaptist’, and other ‘groups’ that teach ‘believer’s baptism’)
“i smell a ‘song title’…”
“but i digress…”
“i couldn’t care less…”
“my hair is a mess…”
“be as it may…”
“i just ma be’
‘(but) maybe someday…”
“perhaps…”
(thus, the ‘sacrament’ or ‘rite’ of ‘confirmation’ is ‘administered’ to those being received from those aforementioned groups, in addition to those ‘converts’ from ‘non-christian religions’)
NOTE:
(there is an analogous ceremony also called ‘confirmation’ in ‘reform judaism’)
(it was created in the ‘1800s’ by ‘israel jacobson’)
