Confirmation in the Lutheran Church is a public profession of faith prepared for by long and careful instruction. In English, it may also be referred to as "affirmation of baptism", and is a mature and public reaffirmation of the faith which "marks the completion of the congregation's program of confirmation ministry".

Flawed decisions due to confirmation bias have been found in a wide range of political, organizational, financial and scientific contexts.
A related claim made by Quine, though contested by some (see Adolf Grünbaum 1962), [4] is that one can always protect one's theory against refutation by attributing failure to some other part of our web of belief.

The German language also uses for Lutheran confirmation a different word (Konfirmation) from the word used for the sacramental rite of the Catholic Church (Firmung). Lutheran churches do not treat confirmation as a dominical sacrament of the Gospel, considering that only Baptism, Eucharist and Confession and Absolution can be regarded as such.

For instance, capital or small-cap PAST (frequently abbreviated to PST) glosses a grammatical past-tense morpheme, while lower-case 'past' would be a literal translation of a word with that meaning.
