The Sacrament of Confirmation is a Sacraments of Healing & Union preformed by the High Priesthood.

But thou shalt declare repentance and faith on the Savior and remissions of sins by baptism and by fire, yea even the Holy Ghost.” –Avahr 35:42

To confirm the Gift of the Holy Ghost upon new members, one should hold the High Priesthood as an Elder, High Priest or High Priestess. They should be dressed in their Garments and in the Robes of the Priesthood, as instructed in preparation to receive the Law of Consecration. The Savior taught the Lehits the proper way to give the Gift of the Holy Ghost:

And he called them by name, saying: Ye shall call on the Father in my name, in mighty prayer; and after ye have done this ye shall have power that to him upon whom ye shall lay your hands, ye shall give the Holy Ghost; and in my name shall ye give it, for thus do mine apostles.” –Moroni 2:2

Laying their hands gently on the new member’s head, the Elder, High Priest or High Priestess should state the individual’s full name, their authority, confirm them a member of the Fellowship, tell them to receive the Holy Ghost, bless them as moved by the Spirit, and close in the name of Jesus Christ. Other High Priesthood holders may also stand in the circle and act as witnesses, signing the records for the Fellowship.

Example confirmation:

(State the person’s full legal name); by the authority of Jesus Christ and the Holy Priesthood I confirm you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ in Christian Fellowship (or simply “the Church of Jesus Christ”), and say unto you: Receive the Holy Ghost!”

(Bless them as moved by the Holy Spirit.)

“These things I leave with you (or say, or prophecy) in the name of Jesus Christ; So mote it be, Amen.”

Those in the circle would then seal the blessing by stating, “Amen.”

The confirmation circle, if more than three persons stand in, should use the Order of Prayer, or the True Order of Prayer; based on the level of Endowment those in the circle have reached. All in the circle should be ordained ministers in the High Priesthood.

It should also be noted that the gift of the Holy Ghost comes from God, and confirmation does not guarantee that one will gain direct access to the Holy Spirit in that exact moment. Some may have already encountered their personal Pentecost, others may receive their in the future, as they deepen their personal relationship with God (see 3 Nephi 4:50 RAV, 9:20 OPV).
