You can of course, and we do, the question is why you would come to Him for forgiveness if you truly believe He has already given it to you.
The difference between Ephesians 1:6-8 and 1 John 1:9 is that John is dealing with what we call relational, or familial, forgivenesslike that of a father and a son. For example, if a son does something wrong to his fatherfalling short of his expectations or rulesthe son has hindered his fellowship with his father. He remains the son of his father, but the relationship suffers. Their fellowship will be hindered until the son admits to his father that he has done wrong. It works the same way with God; our fellowship with Him is hindered until we confess our sin. When we confess our sin to God, the fellowship is restored. This is relational forgiveness.
Positional forgiveness, or judicial forgiveness, is that which is obtained by every believer in Christ. In our position as members of the body of Christ, we have been forgiven of every sin we have ever committed or ever will commit. The price paid by Christ on the cross has satisfied Gods wrath against sin, and no further sacrifice or payment is necessary. When Jesus said, It is finished, He meant it. Our positional forgiveness was obtained then and there.

That's confessing. Nothing in this about asking for forgiveness. Which, I believe you still say you already have, relational or otherwise, correct?
Or is there a forgiveness you don't have yet that you are asking for now?
That is one big fat rationalization, imo. 1 John 1:9 says in Greek:
But the doctrinally "corrected" (read corrupted) Protestant versions read
"But if we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away" (Contemporary English Version)
The "forgive" and "cleanse" is in subjunctive which can only be translated as may (a possibility, a conditional clause), so clearly the NIV and CEV translations are a blatant fraud.
The Greek texts expresses hope and not certainty, and as such 1 John 1:9 runs clearly against the very grain of Protestant superstition that all our sins, past, present and future are forgiven, so they had to invent this "relational" fairytale not to admit their error of thinking.
Likewise, Eph 1:6-8 says nothing about all sins, past, present and future, having been forgiven! It merely states (1:7) "in whom we have redemption,"; meaning in whom there is redemption to be found.
If God had forgiven all sins, past, present and future, then no matter what you do, did, or will do, can break the "fellowship" with him because in God's eyes the fellowship can't be broken!
If God forgave you everything then God is "blind" to your moral excesses against him; in other words, the "saved" can do no wrong in God's eyes. So the whole thing a pathetic rationalization apparently concocted through some very bad biblical scholarship (and corrupt translations) in order to give Protestants something to do on Sundays.
