As a Catholic, did you go through the sacrament of Conformation?

As young adults, depending on your location ages can vary, we Catholics confirm our baptism.
Our parents witness our baptism as infants and we confirm those promises as young adults.

It’s just not quite what the Church teaches. There isn’t “another baptism.” Scripture is clear there’s one baptism (Eph 4:5), and the Church has always held that. So no, Catholics don’t believe in getting re-baptized even in the confirmation sense.

---

I never said it was another baptism. It is renewing our baptismal promises that were made by our parents and godparents for us.

Confirmation isn’t some kind of “now you’re saved, you’re done” moment. It’s a strengthening of the grace you already received in Baptism, not a replacement for faith, repentance, or ongoing conversion.

And I never said anything about that being all you need as a Catholic. Much more is required of us for salvation, the sacraments being several of them.

I was making a point about the Catholic guy who said he was going to be saved in another church. My thoughts are why do you to do it again? My husband converted to Catholicism and because he was baptized in another church, he didn't need to be baptized again.

Not sure what you mean by saved though ... does this involve another baptism perhaps?

---

And don't forget about Confirmation, the sacrament that seals a baptized person with the Gift of the Holy Spirit. If a person is baptised in a Catholic Church and is cofimed in a Catholic Church, there is no need to further actions to be "saved".


Non-Cathlics are really not aware of this sacrament where the person renews their baptismal promises, and is anointed with scred Chrism oil.

Dogs are the best! I can't imagine my life without them, we have 3 now and I am trying to convince my husband to get a 4th.

I also heard that there were about 300k "mail-in ballots" with no creases in them, no down ballot votes and 98% went for Biden.
How do you put a ballot in an envelope to mail in with any creases in it?

Are you saying that people who manage credit poorly would be cut off?

Younger people have no credit, so their first credit card is going to be at a higher rate so that they can build credit.

How about the homeless guy living in the basement who confronted the shooter because he “looked like he didn’t belong there?”

Whole story is fricking weird.

I agree. Imagine your 18-year-old daughter going to her building to study on a Saturday and then you find out the doors are not locked and there is a homeless guy living in the basement!

I understand people not wanting to be filmed all the time, but I think when it comes to students, from elementary to college, they are targets and the adults need to protect them.

The university where my kids went had cameras everywhere and no school building had doors unlocked. It's just really weird.

Alabam left him at the GA Dome. He was holding everyone up because he was on the phone with an Owl recruit.

I had thought maybe he had matured, but I guess not. So happy we didn't get him!!

Biden should have released 'THE EPSTEIN LIST'.

You're the one who has been crying about it. You don't get to switch to 'tapes' now that you can't claim Trump is the bad guy.

Pedo Biden was protecting Epstein. Everyone knows that.

---

I never said or meant to imply that Trump was the bad guy!
I was looking for th facts to counter my looney lefties family as why Biden SHOULD HAVE released the records during his adminstration if it was so damn important to the Dems.

When I said to them, why are ya'll so concerned about the release when you had 4 years to release the files. They told me he couldn't release them due to Maxwell's appeal.
