665. How is the act of confirmation performed?

Confirmation takes place in the context of a divine service. To begin with, the confirmands assemble in front of the altar and answer the question of whether they desire to pursue their future path of life as New Apostolic Christians in loyalty to God with their “yes”. After this profession before God and the congregation, they give their confirmation vow. In it they publicly vow to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord, and promise to live accordingly.
Following this, and after a prayer by the officiant, the confirmands receive their blessing. It is dispensed through laying on of hands.
