Say you've just been converted into a Christian. one of the first things you do is "confess and repent your sins", right? so...do you just go "Lord Jesus, I repent for all the sins I've done in my life" or do you have to confess them one by one? If you forget one of them...will you still be in trouble?

obviously we aren't going to remember each adn every time we've sinned in our past. i would say confess specifically the one syou remember. God knows everything you've done in the past too and He also knows your heart. And that you want to confess for what you've done. i would say do your best to remember what you can and say that if you've forgotten any other sins to please forgive you of those as well.

Or just ask God to forgive all your sins. Ask him to forgive every sin that you have done against him. You don't have to specificly say what that sin was.

In an adult conversion to Orthodoxy, we confess all our sins that we have committed. We are taught that to purposefully omit anything is very grave, and we are to omit nothing major that we can remember. We are also taught that we are human, and we forget things, God does not hold that against us, for he knows our hearts. I have gone to confession and honestly forgotten a sin that I needed and planned to confess, but I have not worried about that for God forgives and absolves me of all sin.
It is also good to enumerate your sins rather than say a simple, 'sinners prayer' for this reminds one, on a personal level, of those transgressions that have separated you from God.

hey Keeki, I cant post the thread url here (because I don't have enough posts), but in my forum, there is a good thread on forgiveness that has lots of good biblical answers and scriptures to back it up. instead of reinventing the wheel, i'll just tell you where it is. just hit my profile and goto my website, you can hit my forums from there. just look under the topic -=Questions & Issues=-
