The Catholic Christian sacrament
of Confirmation originates
with this practice.
Water Baptism is not the only
time or way that the Holy Spirit
comes to live in a person; but
the New Testament indicates
the importance of being baptized
into Christ and thus being
sealed with the Holy Spirit.
Romans 6:3
Or are you unaware that we who were baptized into
Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
Ephesians 1:13
In him you also, who have heard the word of truth,
the gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him,
were sealed with the
promised holy Spirit
