[Salvation]

Are you not familiar with the passage in which Jesus confers the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, telling them that what they forgive will be forgiven and what they hold bound will be held bound?

Or did that get left out of your Bible?

Well, well, well, it appears you look down your nose for other reasons than just finding the keyboard. And Christians wonder where the "bitter-clinger" thingy comes from. Tsk, tsk.
Allow me to remind you that Jesus was a Jew ... they did not practice confession.
