Baptism and confession

[eo_chibears]

Are all of your sins washed away at baptism? If so, do any sins that occured prior to your baptism need to be confessed? Thanks!

 

[Bookcat]

None. And actually they are not even sufficient matter for confession! Forget them entirely …all sin and punishment for sin is completely gone. Replace by true life in Christ!

(I assume you are meaning baptism per se…not the situation where one is conditionally baptized due to doubt about ones first baptism)

 

[Heuchler]

Yep, you are a new creation with your old self washed away, your sins are wiped clean as the bookcat just said.
