When are your sins forgiven?

At what point are you sins forgiven?
1. When you believe
2. When you confess Jesus as Lord
3. When you repent
4. When you are baptized
5. When you say the sinners prayer

I look forward to your response.

Hello Bro',
The answer is easy - Why did John the Baptist Baptise?
Why did Jesus baptise? Why did the saints baptise? For the remission of sins! You are buried with him in baptism - baptism is a buriul of you old life - behold all things are become new - there is only One way - and this is explained plainly in Acts2:38 - repent, be baptised every one of you for the remission of sins and you will receive the gift of the holy ghost. Do it God's way and be sure - any other way - gambling with salvation!

Hope this helps, Love Paul.

When you take Jesus as your Saviour/ sin bearer.

Well what if you sin after you have been saved and or baptized.....you know simple ones...like swearing or drinking or something like that?

When you accept Jesus as your savior.

Well, we all sin and fall short, that is why Jesus died for our sins. Nobody is sinless, even after accepting Jesus! But...you must do your BEST to TRY to be sinless.

I believe that all sins are forgiven the minute you ask for forgiveness, believing that God will indeed forgive you. A non-believer will not truly believe they will be forgiven, so believing in Christ as your Savior is a foregone conclusion.

Also, even though you are a Christian, and God forgives your sins each time you are repentant, you are still human and you still make mistakes. We all do. But God will forgive you, even for the sin that society might think is "inconsequential". Sin is sin to God (murder is equal to lying) and we need His grace to overcome all of it.

I can hardly fathom the span of His love for us.

None of those. My sins were forgiven when Jesus died on the Cross. Every one of the choices you listed show a theme of what we do to have our sins forgiven. Our sins are forgiven (we are saved) based on God's Grace, not our actions. Otherwise, if you forget, in your haste, to ask for forgivness for a particular sin, then by that reasoning, it isn't forgiven. I was not regenerated into Christ and given a new nature, and thus started living for God, until my early twenties. But, the point of regeneration is different for each of us. It's God's Grace, however, that rescues us from our depraved, sinful nature and sets us on a path to righteous glorification.

God bless.

ALL your sins are forgiven - you cannot bring your old life back from the baptismal tank - it is dead to the Law of sin and death! From now on we must work out our own Salvation with fear and trembling - fear God and put away these simple sins aswell - we need to repent every day - examine ourselves every day - and remember - we have been made perfect by the Spirit - when we walk in the spirit we will not fullfill the desires ( and simple sins ) of the body. We are the children of God - He will bring us up in His way - as long as we are not disobedient children.

When Christ becomes your savior and Lord (this may include several of the above).

Does that mean Acts 2:38 is wrong when it says repent, be baptised for the remission of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost?
