When are christians allowed to receive there First Communion?
In order to do Communion, you have to take special classes that are around 3 months long and the Pastor/Preacher teaches the class. The classes are about communion, baptisim, the Ten Commandments etc. and once a person passes all the classes and attended all of them, the then go into Confimation which is a big deal. In confirmation the person has to memorize afew things and then they are confirmed and have their first communion. From then on, in the next church services(Sundays), the person can take communion. Before Confirmation even happens, the person cannot do communion.

Why is it a sin to receive communion more than once a day?
The wafer represents the body of Christ; wine represents His blood. If we treated Communion as just a food or that we can have 'seconds' or have 'more', we reduce it to the mere 'ordinary'. So Communion is restricted as a special Holy Sacrament.
How often should you take Communion?
You may never "take" Holy Communion, you may only "receive" Holy Communion. You should receive Holy Communion as frequently as you can, while you are in a state of grace, and have been fasting. You may not receive Holy Communion more than twice a day, and the second time only if you have been to an entire Mass. If you are not in a state of grace, or are not fasting, or have already received Holy Communion that day, you should never receive.
What is the proper way to serve communion in a baptist church?
We do not receive communion. Sometimes on special occasions, like Easter, they give the adults wine, but I do not know if that is for every church. I do not think this is the same for every church. Most churches do receive communion on a weekly or monthly basis.

Who often most a catholic need to receive communion?
A Catholic should receive Holy Communion as often as they are in a state of grace and properly prepared to receive Our Blessed Lord in Holy Communion, as much as daily. In rare instances, a Catholic may receive Holy Communion a second time in one day, for a special reason, IF they attend the full Mass at which they receive the second time, and if they are in a state of grace, and properly prepared. Nobody should ever approach the altar to receive Holy Communion if they are not in a state of grace, or if they are not properly prepared, to do so is sacrilege, a serious sin. A Catholic is required to receive Holy Communion at a minimum of once a year, and that should be during the Easter Season, which is one of the reasons that Catholics are *required* to go to confession at least once a year also. However, may I point out that only going to confession once a year would be like changing your underwear and socks only once a year - not a good idea; and receiving Holy Communion only once a year would be like eating only once a year - likewise not a good idea. These are bare minimums to make sure that you don't completely neglect your religious life, they are hardly to be considered normative.
Do other religions besides catholics take communion?
Yes, other religions that take communion are Orthodox Christianity, Protestants (Anglican, Lutheran, Baptist, Mennonites, Anabaptists, Reformed, Presbyterian, United Methodist), and Restorationists (Jehova's Witness, Latter-Day Saints, Seventh Day Adventists, Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventists).
Why do you look forward to receiving your first Holy Communion?
A:There could be reasons of piety for looking forward to receiving your first communion. In many communities it is seen as part of growing up and being seen as more responsible. It is exciting to do something for the first time, and tension has built up as you prepare for this as a special occasion..AnswerYou should look forward to your first Holy Communion, because this is the first time that you are going to receive the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that comes even close to the graces and strength that you will receive in Holy Communion as long as you are receiving it worthily.
