Some people believe that just cuz Jesus came and died for us are sins are washed away "forever", nope! Due to him dying on the cross, our sins are "able" to be forgiven. But, once they are "forgiven", it is up to us, not to mess up again. For example: if someone stole money, and asked God to forgive him, and meant it, The Lord would forgive him. But, the next week, the guy stole money again, and didnt ask God to forgive him and happend to get shot and killed by the cops, mostly likley he would go to "hell". #1, He knew it was wrong, yet did it anyways
#2, He did not repent
#3, Stealing as a sin!

Forgiving sins and accepting Christ as your Lord and Saviour are two different things. God sent his one and only son to die on the Cross for our sins. Which if you think about it, before we are even born, we are forgiven for things that we will do in the future. So everyone is forgiven. But not everyone accepts Christ. It's those people that CHOOSE not to accept him that go to Hell.

No sin can be forgiven! Without first believing in your preferred religion then asking it of your god with the knowledge that whomever you're worshiping will be able to forgive the sin.
So to answer yet again: NO SIN IS FORGIVEN!!!!!!!!!

God will forgive those who choose to come to Him and ask for forgiveness. People don't automatically received it......oh, and according to the Bible (or at least my interpretation of it) asking for forgiveness won't get you into heaven. Only accepting Jesus as your Lord and trusting and following God will get you into heaven. Those who don't do this, I believe, will go to hell.
"For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)
"If you live your life like there is no God, you better be right"

Sins are forgiven for those that choose to follow Christ. If you spend any time reading some of the posts on this site, you'll see that many choose to not only follow Him, but betray Him, ignore Him, and condamn Him.
Unfortunately, these people will never ask for forgiveness, they will never see the error in their ways, and God will have no mercy.
Hell was created by God for Satan and his angels. Everyone will be judged on judgment day. Those that never accepted Jesus will be thrown in the lake of fire. :-( so sad!
Who's angel are you?

It is a choice that we all have to make. Either accept or reject the Word. Hell is a place of punishment that was not designed for us but it is a place that by our choices we get to go.
Here is why.
Are you a good person? What a question, most of us believe that we are good people because we can look around and find someone that is far worse than we are. We can always point to the things that we think make us a good person.
But how good are we really? Dare we take this test and look at ourselves and see if we really are good? Hmmm.
If you are willing try this and see just how good a person you are.
The Good Person Test.
How will you do? Pass or fail?
Have you ever told a lie?
Doesn't matter how big or small, just a lie.
What does that make you? Before answering think about this, if I told you a lie what would you call me? A liar?
Have you ever stolen anything? Cost doesn't matter, a piece of gum, failed to give back an ink pen that you borrowed, anything.
What does that make you?
Jesus said, "You know the saying of old, you shall not commit adultery but I say that if look at someone to lust after them you have committed adultery in your heart.
Have you ever lusted?
Jesus said that hate is equal to murder.
Have you ever hated anyone?
See one day we all are going to stand before a Holy God on Judgment Day and he is going to judge us based on His Holy Law, the Ten Commandments. These are just 4 of them and how did you do? Guilty? I have broken all of these and more, what about you? How well will you do on Judgment Day?
If we break just one point of God's Law we are guilty of breaking all the law and Gods Wrath abides upon us all. Based on God's Law we are all guilty and all are deserving of punishment. But there is an out for us.
Jesus paid the price for each one of us, took on himself God's Wrath so we wouldn't have to face it on our own. Jesus was beaten, battered, bleed and died so we wouldn't have to face God's Wrath. He rose again so that we would life in his presence. Our crimes, His payment.
The real question is where will you stand on Judgment Day. Pay yourself or have it paid for you. Think about it.

Who told you that all sins are to be forgiven? I don't recall seeing that in the Christian Bible anywhere.

All sins are forgiven to them that believe. Not everybody will choose to believe in God's sacrifice and forgiveness for their sins.

All sins are not forgiven. Only those who TRULY call upon the name of Jesus can and will be saved.
