with baptism the baby or childs promises are made by the parents and god parents, also the baby is welcomed into the family of God. Whereas with confirmation usually at age 12 in the UK, then the person makes the promises, and knows after classes discussing this, why they have opted to be confirmed..then they have their first communion

∙ 12y agoBaptism is a Sacrament that is usually received at just a few months old, if you are born into a Christian family. It is meant to wash away Original Sin cast upon the human race by Adam and Eve, the first humans. Your parents and/or Godparents- or yourself, if you are an adult or teen at the time - say your Baptismal vows.
Confirmation is basically the renewal of these vows, because you didn't say them yourself as a baby. At this time, you become a full member of the church. I don't believe Confirmation is necessary if you are Baptized as an adult or teen, but I'm not entirely sure.

∙ 10y agoNo, baptism and confirmation are two of the three sacraments of initiation in Christianity (the third being the Eucharist). Confirmation is the sacrament which completes baptism, and is often given at the same time, except in the Latin rite where Confirmation is not given to infants.
