It began later. So What!

Are you open to confess your sins to the whole congregation like the early Church did?
I would do it.

Do I pray for forgiveness of sins every day? Sure.
Confession helps me to focus not to sin.
Why would you have a problem with that?

THAT is the point.

It is not a biblical practice.

1Cr 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Hbr 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Tts 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself

Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
