[quote=Anonymous]I'm Episcopalian and I know many people who were confirmed as adults. It's pretty common -- a lot of people come from other denominations and they don't need to be baptized again, but they choose to be confirmed in the Episcopal church. So you can always get confirmed when you are older. My understanding is that the whole point of Confirmation is that it's a free choice willingly made. That's in contrast to infant baptism, which Episcopalians do and the babies obviously can't give consent. By definition you can't make someone do it who doesn't want to. People's spiritual life goes in stages. If the worst thing you have to deal with in the teen rebellion phase is saying no to confirmation, then you will be so lucky! [/quote]
