Jehovah has no authority to "forgive" "sins".
No one can take anyone's "sins" (wrongdoings) away.
Doing wrong is not a thing -- it's a void, an emptiness.
The only thing that stops a person from doing wrong is gaining the wisdom to know it's wrong.
The only thing that stops a "sin" is enlightenment --- comprehending why it's wrong to to that particular thing.

I don't know what you've done but the Bible tells us that if we go to Him and repent then He will forgive us. You have to first admit that you are a sinner and that you have neglected Him. Ask Him into your heart, He won't force himself but He will come if you ask Him. The important thing is not to take advantage of His grace and mercy. After you've repented and asked Him for repentance, don't indulge in sin again. It will be people and places that you will have to walk away from. People will talk about you and call you Holy Roller and all of that.......but how can two walk together except they agree (Amos 3:3) The Bible says in Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. He will forgive you. Then don't sit around constantly thinking about your past. Once you've ask Him to forgive you for it, don't allow the enemy to continue to bring things back to your remembrance......I'll be praying for you.

Yes God does forgive all sins,if we accept Christ into our heart.And truly seek forgivness from all wrong that we've done.But we must from there on live by faith,so that others can see that we have Jesus in our lives.Christianity is hard but very well worth it,imagine the heavenly home on high, compared to hell, then living for Christ will be sheer joy.

First, I trust you meant "accept", not "exept".
Second, "Repent" is more than being sorry for what you've done, it means that you turn from sin. A person who repents from stealing does not steal again. A person who has repented in the name of Jesus Christ is forgiven.
Third, "accepting" Jesus Christ into your heart is to also believe in him. As for this belief (faith), consider this: If you believe in the tooth fairy, don't you do what is involved in that belief (put your tooth under you pillow)? Faith involves works aligned with that belief - to believe in Christ is to pursue Christ. For that, I suggest that you read the Holy Bible.

Yes, God forgives ALL of your sins if you believe that He sent His son, Jesus, to die for your sins AND if you believe He raised Christ from the dead. You also must be sincerely sorry for your sin. God knows your heart.
Also, baptism is NOT required for salvation. It's a good thing to do to declare openly about your belief b/c Christ did it, but God does NOT require it for salvation.
God bless...

That is His promise to us! He paid our price for sin and if we truly believe, repent and have a personal relationship - all sins are forgiven.
We must not blasphemy the Holy Spirit by saying He doesn't exist.

Yes, God does forgive all sins, when we repent, and will come into your heart.

when you repent and ask God to forgive you, you have to confess it with your mouth and yes, except him in your heart- a sincere heart, and when you realy get saved, things you ised to do you don't and don't want to do anymore, it's like automatic! and yes, he forgives you of EVERYTHING! but just don't go back and do it again, if you get in the word, it'll tell you about that, He said in one scripture about when you get saved and confess that if you go back and do those things that he saved you from that it's "As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly"Prov 26:11(also 2Peter 2:21-22) that's how disgusted God is when we sin against him

If you trust Christ for your salvation, repent with a sincere heart, and receive the gift of forgiveness, you will be saved. Baptism is not for salvation, it is a public proclamation of your faith.
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. No works that you do can bring salvation.

If you repent with a believing heart, yes.
