It depends upon which denomination you're in. But generally speaking, no. A Roman Catholic child will generally make a First Communion long before confirmation; however, as an adult convert, one is generally confirmed before being allowed to take Communion (my spouse, as an adult convert to Catholicism, could not receive the Eucharist until being confirmed). In the Episcopal Church, the rite of Confirmation is not required before receiving Holy Communion.

Depends. In the Episcopal church, you can receive the Eucharist after you have been baptized, but I believe Catholics wait until after their First Communion (around age 7 or 8, I think).

In Catholicism the Eucharist comes first (the body of Christ) and Confirmation is later (the Holy Spirit) The Bible says: "Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world."

No, it's the eucharist first then confirmation.

it really depends. some churches like the catholic church have communion first and confirmation later. i'm lutheran and i had to be confirmed before i took first communion. it really depends. i don't think there is a right or a wrong as long as you are baptized, and are going to be confirmed eventually

Paul said we need to examine OURSELVES - not for some priest to examine you first and give his blessings.
If we are honest that we have been living holy - it is permissible to partake of the Lord's Supper.
However - if we ignore what we know if we have sinned and eat of the bread and wine unworthily - we eat and drink damnation into ourselves - so says the Apostle Paul.
The Vatican is a religious slave master. It is far better to be slave to Christ than the Pope or his cronies

No. First Communion occurs before that. Confirmation is the final step after baptism, when you choose the faith on your own free will.

you don't have to be confirmed, just baptized. Baptism is how you become a Christian. You recieve the holy spirit.

You need to have your first communion before you can partake of the body and blood.
