Confirmation (Lutheran Church)
Confirmation in the Lutheran Church is a public profession of faith prepared for by long and careful instruction. In English, it may also be referred to as "affirmation of baptism", and is a mature and public reaffirmation of the faith which "marks the completion of the congregation's program of confirmation ministry".
For those in the Lutheran catechumenate, confirmation is often administered during the Easter Vigil; other popular feasts on which confirmation is celebrated include Pentecost and Feast of the Good Shepherd.
The Lutheran Churches ground the rite of Confirmation in Matthew 10 and Romans 10:
Jesus told His disciples, that if you confess Me before men, I will confess you before My Father in heaven—but if you deny Me before men, I will deny you before My Father in heaven. The public confession of faith, and confirmation of that faith in the Church, is retained with proper catechesis and instruction in the faith, once for all delivered to the saints. (Matthew 10, Romans 10)
An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism states:
Confirmation is a public rite of the Church preceded by a period of instruction designed to help baptized Christians identify with the life and mission of the Christian community. Note: Prior to admission to the Eucharist, it is necessary to be instructed in the Christian faith (1 Cor. 11:28). The rite of confirmation provides an opportunity for the individual Christian, relying on God's promise given in Holy Baptism, to make a personal public confession of the faith and a lifelong pledge of fidelity to Christ.
The Rite of Confirmation encourages the individual Christian, relying on God's promise given in Baptism, to make a public profession of the faith and a lifelong pledge of faithfulness to Christ. Confirmation teaches baptized Christians, who wish to become Lutheran, the Church's theology on the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer, as well as Lutheran doctrine on the sacraments of Baptism, Confession, and the Eucharist.
