Pap,
NOT according to the scriptures. Sins are washed away through Baptism. Have a great week.
Thanks,

Yes in the sense that faith will cause you to follow through to get your sins removed. Look at Hebrews 9:22. Blood is needed and it is by Jesus' blood (Hebrews 10:1-12, Revelation 1:5) that your sins are removed and Romans 6:3-13 tells how you come into contact with that blood through His death as does Galatians 3:27. This is why in Acts 2:38 and 22:16 says that baptism removes or forgives sins. This then makes since with 1 Peter 3:20-21.

Faith in the blood of Christ will take away the penalty of sin. Faith has to be in something. Faith in faith is not what we need to keep our eyes on but in the blood.

No. . . . sin is self created. . . a sin you may believe to be a sin may be trivial to another. . . evilness can not be taken away. . . you should follow your own conscience and be aware of other people and not cause negativity as that is energy that can not be taken away

I will give an example... You stole a bicycle off a little boy, now you confess your sin and your faith in your eyes has washed the sin, the little boy has no bicycle still, no matter what faith you have. . . the energy of that sin is still around regardless of your faith

What can take away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! You can have faith that will move mountains, however nothing but the atonement sacrifice made at Calvary will take away sin for a repentant sinner.
