No. Baptism is the beginning. Most people are baptized just days after birth. There is no conscious awareness then. Confirmation is a reaffirmation of the religion that a person has been practicing most of his or her life. It is supposed to occur when the person is aware of his or her religion and is a very serious commitment in most religions.
