Yes. After a sincere Reconciliation with a Priest.

First of all not, everything is in the Bible. We didn't have the Bible as we know it today until 397 A.D. at the Council of Carthage.
We learned our Christian faith by oral and written tradition...
In 2nd Thessalonians 2:15 it says: "So then, brothers, stand firm, and hold the traditions which you were taught by us, whether by word, or by letter."
Since you state that you have already received the Sacrament of Holy Communion, you should still be able to. Of course, you must be in the state of grace to receive Holy Communion, that is, no big mortal sin on your soul. If you do, you must go to Confession before receiving Communion.
Some Churches have different orders with Confirmation and Communion.
Some have Baptism then Communion and then Confirmation,
Others have Baptism then have Confirmation and Communion together.
Find your Priest, Deacon or Director of Religious Education and ask them what you need to do.
God bless.

Absolutely! To receive Eucharist, you must be baptized, have been prepared to receive the sacrament (went through "first communion") and not be conscious of any grave sin. (If you are, go to confession first and then communion.)
The original and most authentic order of the sacraments of initiation is 1) Baptism, 2) Confirmation, & 3) Eucharist. Confirmation was pulled out of order about a century ago and turned into a "rite of passage" (which it isn't) in order to keep teens in the church.
As an adult, you may be Confirmed, usually at the Easter Vigil. If you are interested, talk to the Adult Ed or RCIA coordinator at your church.

No you cannot!
In the first place you were not baptized according to the biblical standard, which is "Immersion" (John the baptist way) for the remision of sins.
Babies should not be baptized, they are supposed to be offered to God. like Jesus when he was offered in the temple.
Repentance must comes first before baptism, and babies don't know anything about right and wrong, good or bad, truth and lies, etc.
You cannot participate in the bread and wine ceremony, unless you first denounce your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour and be baptized through emersion, it is only then you can participate in the bread and wine ceremony.

Yeah you receive your first communion BEFORE you chose to be confirmed so yeah you can have communion and not be confirmed.

I suppose you still can. You should apply to receive Confirmation, in fact.
To Chris K.:
Acts chapter 2 is where Confirmation is told.

Yes.
If you have been away from the Church for a while then it is recommended you go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) first. And welcome back.
If you want you can take classes leading to Confirmation. Call your parish office.
With love and prayers in Christ.

Certainly. Confirmation is a Sacrament. To not be Confirmed is not a sin.
I am not sure why you did not get confirmed, but if it was because you did not feel ready, that is fine. you can get confirmed at any age.

Someone already answered this after reconciliation you may. Contact your parish priest to see about classes and confirmation. It is not necessary but it will strengthen your faith and life.
