I'm telling you from 25 years of scriptural study, that will not get you into heaven! If we don't repent of our sins it has been made clear in scripture we will remain separated from God!

So the answer to your question is that I know for a fact you are not right! I'm sorry to say!
Well, if you know it for a FACT, that is certainly impressive. How did it become fact and not just your firm belief and conviction???

1 John 1:9

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."


If we don't confess our sins, He cannot forgive them!

Nothing in that verse says, he cannot forgive them.
You are reading more into it, then what is there.

OK, Jerwade, we are talking about initial salvation here!

If you think God forgives sin without your acknowledging those sins, you have missed the boat!

Acts 3:19

"Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,"

Repent means to turn from those sins, to change your ways! That means you are acknowledging those sins exist. Those sins are what nailed Jesus to the Cross!

What? Repenting and changing direction isn't good enough for your God?
Hurry, Charlie, you better run out and end the life of your firstborn child.

With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted G0D? Shall I come before him with – burnt offerings – with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams – with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgressions – the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does GOD require of you – only to do that which is just; and to love Mercy, walking humbly with him.

Micah 6:6-8, also read; Hosea 6:6, Proverbs 16:6, 21:3

Ok, Jerwade, we get your sarcasm! You know what it means, you just want to be that knucklehead!

Read the Scriptures in their entirety with comprehension, Charlie, perhaps then you will have a better understanding.

The understanding you hold is a syncretistic belief of fables and myth's that have been adopted by Christianism to frighten children.
