What about....this Scripture: " If a man says he has no sin, he deceives himself and the truth is not in him"...?

One just needs to repent of their sins. Admitting one is a sinner is not necessary if you are to busy repenting of them.

Eternal life IS a relationship with God. That relationship is between the created and the Creator and is an unequal relationship. To say that I am a sinner is to say that God is God and I am not God. That is the start of the possibility of that relationship.
Most people recognize that they "occasionally sin" but see it as a relatively minor problem because they see themselves as fundamentally good and therefore of no need of this relationship. After all, would a good God put a basically good person into hell?

Admitting that you are a sinner is just the beginning of the the process of repentance.Yes, very born again believer must admit that they are a sinner to be saved but at the same time not every one that admits that he is a sinner will be saved. Acknowledging the fact that one is a sinner does not guarantee eternal life but it is a most significant requirement.
God bless

God didn't become PC 45 years ago.The liberals,anti-christians,etc. may have pushed the false idea that each person could have God be anyway they want.God has never accepted man's doctrine to override His.Sin hasn't changed since Adam and Eve.Here are a small number of sin or righteousness verses:
Romans 10
Jude
James
Acts 2:21
Nowhere in the 4 gospels does Jesus say He changed His mind on any sin.
2 Peter 3
Hebrews 11
Job

Yes, we have to admit to OURSELVES that we have sinned, and need Jesus to forgive and take away our sins and guilt.
God already knows all about us. He knows all our secret thoughts and even how many hairs are on our head at any given moment, so we don't have to admit sin to Him for His information!
But God wants us to realize we need Him. Jesus wants us to appreciate His death on the cross for the payment of our sins, and come to love Him, because He loves us so much.

I do not think so, but do you believe that you have committed no sin, if you have why not admit it to Jesus or Vishnu, seems a small thing to gain salvation, especially if thats all it takes. What deal that would be.

I think it would it be save to speculate, regardless of your religious affiliation, should one achieve an invitation with the creator of time and space he would have settled all accounts before asking for eternal life.

Yes, because if you did not think you were a sinner you would not think you had a need for a Savior.

we're not meant to renowned each and every of the solutions to those questions. we are meant to make our own possibilities. i'm effective God is acquainted with good and incorrect. Who belongs in heaven and who does not. he shouldn't permit somebody completely evil in yet once you're good on your finished life and screw the hott neighbor good before you die through fact you have been tempted i think of he will nonetheless permit you in. you're the two good at coronary heart or selfish at coronary heart.
