<P> Orthodox Churches believe that baptism in the Holy Spirit is conferred with water baptism . The individual is anointed with oil (chrism) immediately after baptism . According to Cyril of Jerusalem: </P> <P> This holy ointment is no more simple ointment, nor (so to say) common, after the invocation, but the gift of Christ; and by the presence of His Godhead, it causes in us the Holy Ghost . It is symbolically applied to thy forehead and thy other senses and while thy body is anointed with visible ointment, thy soul is sanctified by the Holy and life - giving Spirit . </P> <P> The Catholic Church teaches that baptism, confirmation, and the Eucharist--the sacraments of Christian initiation--lay the foundations of the Christian life . The Christian life is based on baptism . It is "the gateway to life in the Spirit" and "signifies and actually brings about the birth of water and the Spirit". The post-baptismal anointing (Chrismation in the Eastern churches) signifies the gift of the Holy Spirit and announces a second anointing to be conferred later in confirmation that completes the baptismal anointing . </P> <P> Confirmation, then, is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace . When confirmed, Catholics receive the "special outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost". For the confirmand it increases the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit (wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord), unites more fully to Christ and the Church, and gives strength to confess Christ and defend the faith . The rite of confirmation orients toward mission, and many liturgical texts remind the initiate that the gift of the Holy Spirit should be used for service to the church and the world . </P>
