Supporting arguments
Confirmation is important because it is how young Christians confirm their membership in and loyalty to the Christian faith. [1]
Opposing arguments
The process of confirming a young Christian's faith should be through chrismation, a ceremony performed soon after a child is baptized. [2]
- Related argument: Christians should be chrismated soon after baptism.
People should baptized when they reach the age of reason and are able to sin and to choose the Christian faith, both outcomes requiring baptism. Confirmation is therefore useless. [3]
- Related argument: Christians should practice water baptism.
- Related argument: People should only be baptized when they choose to be Christian.
People's faith is confirmed in their heart when they accept God. No confirmation ceremony is necessary. [4]
