if i converted to islam and then drifted out of islam by not praying, fasting, going to masjid, drinking...and then wanted to go back to islam and get forgiviness for the mistakes i made, would i have to go back to the masjid and profess my faith all over again to the congregation?

Praise be to Allah.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Say: “O ‘Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins”
[al-Zumar 39:53]
“Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief), their past will be forgiven”
[al-Anfaal 8:38]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Islam wipes away whatever (sins) came before it, and repentance wipes away whatever (sins) came before it.” (Narrated by Ahmad, 4/204).

No, Just ask for forgiveness from God, Praise him, and read the Quran more. God is All-forgiving, Most Merciful. Just return to the masjid, and make beginning golas you can keep. Like maybe making the Masjid every Friday, or making All your Prayers everyday.

No..When u want make a repent just do a pray..have a lot of pray...
If u do something wrong with people then we should ask for a forgiveness with that person...the same goes to the sin we make for not obligate what have been decreed by Allah..
Just take notice that u are surely regret with the sin u have made and promise not to make it again..if not then ur repent was clearly useless...

No. Just repent to ALLAH sincerly and promise never to do those sins again. By the way not fasting and praying 5 times a day are HUGE sins in Islam.

No, you wouldn't have to go back to the masjid. You can repent and ask for forgiveness from home.

nope....you dont have to go to the mosque and confess...we muslims belive that god is always with us...so even if you ask for his forgivness at home and you mean it...there is no problem at all.....!
in our holy book each time we start to read we saod in the name of allah the most mercyful most forgiver! so god always forgives who beg for his forgivness...dont worry, do it at home will be fine!
