Could you site something that says baptism isn't into a church as you claim? It would certainly clear up this issue that you have brought up. Pure semantics. Baptism and confirmation are done together in the Church. It wasn't always the case. Baptism is entering a covenant with Christ which gains admittance to the kingdom of God. In the confirmation ordinance you are confirmed a member of the Church and blessed with the gift of the Holy Ghost. Two separate ordinances, regardless of some phrasing on a website.

I hope you can understand why I am asking for some reference to what you are claiming. Can you provide anything or is this just your opinion. After all, the "some web site" happens to be the official church web site. Edited October 11, 2016 by california boy
