In this act they confess Jesus Christ openly as Saviour and Lord that they may be confirmed by the Holy Spirit and welcomed to the Lord's table. The major point in all this is that those being confirmed now own for themselves and publicly endorse the promises which their parents made on their behalf as infants on the day their parents had them baptized. Everywhere in the New Testament baptism is a sign of several things. It is a sign of repentance. To repent is to change direction.
Christians take their marching orders from a different leader.
We walk resolutely that road which leads to the kingdom of God. Baptism is a sign of faith. Faith is keeping company with Jesus Christ. Living unashamedly in his company, we share his identity. We are publicly known as those who know him and love him and obey him.
