Confirmation bullet points


  • Is found in the acts of the Apostles
  • Hebrews 6:2 refers to how Confirmation techies Christians the basics of the religion
  • It is the initiation to eternal life 
  • Journey stages: faith, baptism, confirmation, resurrection, and judgement 
  • Laying on of hands must be in the sacrament 
  • It is distinct from baptism
Confirmation I think is the second most important sacrament next to Eucharist. This is because Confirmation is distinct from Baptism and is the gateway to eternal life because the Holy Spirit is now in you and now you are capable of living Gods word.

Theological virtues 5/8

The virtues God gives us are Faith Hope and charity. He infuses us with this virtues, and we don't earn them. Infused means that we are automatically given to us at birth and it is impossible to gain or lose them. In my everyday life, I sin. But also I pray. Praying to God helps Him to give me His grace which He freely gives us when we sin. I have faith in God, hope in society, and charity in the needy everyday because I pray for them.

5/7 act 5

Chris Tomlin's Our God is a good song about how our Christian God is greater than any other god. By any other god, he means polytheistic Gods and Gods in other religions. Our God is better because He is always nice to us and forgives us while others aren't.

How the Holy Spirit helps us experience God in our Lives

The Holy Spirit is the third Person in the Trinity. The Holy Spirit is first mentioned in the New Testament when announcing the Incarnation of Jesus in Mary's womb. Then the Holy Spirit is passed to the Apostles then passed down from generation to generation by Bishops and Priests. The Holy Spirit helps a per son experience God in Christianity by giving us the grimace and mercy of God because without grace and mercy, our sins would not be able to be forgiven. Therefore, God is impossible to Experience because we would all be in hell. In everyday life, we experience the love and the grace of God through the Holy Spirit by choosing to say yes to God, because when we say yes to Him, we Christ becomes incarnate in our souls through choosing God over sin.

5.A class

God incarnate
Anticipation Set
A cross is an instrument of Capitol punishment
There is no difference between the Jesus of history, and the Christ of faith. Jesus is fully divine and fully human
Some scholars attempt to spear ate the Jesus of history from the Christ of faith, reducing the former to a mere man and the latter of religious fantasy
In reality, the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith are one and the same; his salvific message is validated by the Ressurection
Starting in the 19 century some scholars questioned the info I'm the gospels
The rising doubt led to argue that Jesus of history and Christ of Faith were different
Jesus of history is the person
Christ of faith is the true divine person of Him
The Jesus seminar
These scholars thought that the apostles could not have been objective in the events
They think the Apostles lied about the Resurrection
This led the Jesus seminar at which the attendees decided that the Gospels had few facts surrounded by a lot of tall tales
The conclusion has very devastating implications- if Jesus has not truly risen from the dead then our faith is in vain
Orthodox teaching confirms that the Jesus of history and the Christ of Faith are one and the Same person


Resurrection
It is the central belief in Christianity

Scripture provides proof and testimonies that the story is true

The conversion of St Paul shows that the believers aren't limited to the ones who've believed in Him
all along and eyewitnessesed Him

The spread of the story in the face or persecution and death, reveals a strength in the conviction in the risen Lord behind intervention

Gospels are centered around the life of Christ

How to pray apply

Jesus taught the Apostles how to pray by using the Our Father. The Our Father is a good prayer showing our needs and Gods needs. By thanking for for what He has done and how much He loves us, we can show Him gratitude through that prayer. Also, we can ask Him for guidance and grace when we say the second half of the Our Father. According to Jesus, this prayer is the perfect prayer to ask God what we want and giving Him gratitude for what He has done for us.

In calling of the Apostles, Jesus calls each and everyone of the Apostles by name. He tells them to leave behind everything too. He does the same for us even today. Calling us by name to be a follower of Him, we can come to truly understand the goodness and loving ness of Jesus.

In Jesus' healing ministry is important because Jesus used healing to physically heal and spiritually heal. He physically healed the leper from a sickness, giving him the opportunity to show Gods g
Pry by loving fully alive. Jesus also healed people spiritually by absolving them of their sins. This is significant to me because Jesus can heal me physically when I'm stressed through prayer and spiritually through reconciliation and prayer.

Jesus got baptized because He wanted to show the world that He had human attributes and purified the water. This is significant in my life because it lets me relate to Jesus. Relating to Jesus through baptism gives me a connection to Him that helps me throughout my life because I can find His presence in everything I do.

Jesus was tempted in the desert by the devil. This is significant because if Jesus fell into temptation, He wouldn't be the true Som of God to save us from sin and fulfill the covenant. It also relates to my life because it shows how a human like me can overcome temptation.

This section is about Jesus's hidden life. His hidden life teaches us to always grow in wisdom and knowledge before teaching. Jesus's human values caused Him to have to learn and grow in wisdom before he preached.

This relates to my life because I can't just take a test and expect to pass it without knowing what is on it. I have to learn, pay attention, practice, study and understand the material before I can asses myself through a test.

The name Jesus means God saves. This is significant because Jesus was sent onto the Earth to SAVE us from sin. Through the death on the cross and the Resurrection, Jesus defeats death and gives us and opportunity to live forever with God in Heaven.

Before Jesus was able to save us from sin, we died and didn't go anywhere. Now, since we have free will, it is either Purgatory, Heaven, or Hell. Heaven is for the people that follow God and live His law. Purgatory is for the people who believe in Him but don't follow His law too well. Hell is for the people who don't follow God and don't follow His law.
