Where in the Bible do we find the churches practicing the sacrament of confirmation?

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Luke, Catholic chapter two, Protestant verses forty one to fifty two, as authorized, but not authored, by King James

Keep worshiping your goddess, but there are no queens in heaven and only one King of Kings, Jesus.

Diana, in Roman religion, goddess of wild animals and the hunt, identified with the Greek goddess Artemis. Her name is akin to the Latin words dium (“sky”) and dius (“daylight”). Like her Greek counterpart, she was also a goddess of domestic animals.

Your Scripture references the Law of Moses not the Age of Grace, Jesus.

Romans 6:14 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

James 2:10 New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE)

10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.
