Hi vorlon13, I don't mind answering anything. I do not believe anywhere in the bible it gives a specific order in which communion has to be given. However during the supper with Jesus and his disciples, Jesus did pass the bread first, then the juice. I think that is why some do it in that order? I am a part of a non-denominational church. When we pass communion, both are passed at the same time. I drink the juice first to wash down the cracker that I ate. I left a church where there were a lot of traditions that weren't found in the bible took precedence over things that were biblical. Religious people can get legalistic as well.
Thanks
Luke 22 (KJV)
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
