Ever hear of Christ’s Baptism? Holy Spirit came down upon him.

Ever hear of Pentecost? A pre-cursor of Confirmation for us all.

Yeah, I think I recall reading about that. However, to compare that with what the sinner experiences is not the same as evidenced by the fact believers did not receive the Holy Spirit until Christ had departed.

I've heard of Pentecost where there was a massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the believers which was followed by Peter's preaching leading to the salvation of 3000+.....but there is nothing to suggest a "confirmation" as defined by catholicism.

How many Catholics speak in tongues when confirmed?
