Confirmation is the adult or rational step taken to express a mature commitment to Christ. Through this act one receives strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop (The Book of Common Prayer, page 860). It reaffirms the promises made at baptism either by the baby's sponsor or the adult being baptized.
The road to confirmation is one of prayer as well as study of the Holy Scriptures and Book of Common Prayer. It is the educated choice one makes of one's free will to accept Christ as one's Savior.
