All sin - a Christian perspective
Jesus cleanses us of all the sin that taints us--not just some of it. When Jesus saves us from sin, we are completely and totally redeemed.

Salvation, All Sin

I am looking for scriptures that link forgiveness of sin with salvation. So far I can only find that it says believe–and you will be saved. I have always heard preachers say “Confess your sins” as part of the prayer to become a Christian. I know it’s of vital importance, but is it an actual part of salvation? I’m looking for scripture references, not opinions or commentaries. Any help would be appreciated.
Confession is “agreeing” with God that you are wrong and He is right. Confessing our sin is agreeing with God that we have sinned against Him. However, the Bible tells us that unless we “repent” (turn away from sin and unto God) we cannot be saved. The word “believe” in the Greek means to “completely trust in.” We must TRUST in Christ for our salvation, not merely believe, for even the demons believe and tremble (James 2:19).
Here are some Scriptures for your reference: 1 John 1:9; Matt. 3:2, 4:17; Mark 1:15, 6:12; Luke 13:3,5; Acts 2:38, 3:19, 17:30, 26:20; Rev. 2:5, 2:16, 2:21-22, 3:3.
