Confession online free




This title can be purchased in print form from Founders Press. For a discussion of how robust a confession of faith should be, see B.H. Carroll and Robust Confessionalism. For a suggestion about how a church might subscribe to the Second London Confession of Faith, see How to Subscribe to the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith. To understand the importance of creedalism, or confessionalism, see The Creedal Imperative by Carl Trueman.


Of Confession they teach that Private Absolution ought to be retained in the churches, although in confession an enumeration of all sins is not necessary. For it is impossible according to the Psalm: "Who can understand his errors?" Ps. 19, 12.


In the second place, why do our adversaries exaggerate the obligation or effect of a vow when, at the same time, they have not a word to say of the nature of the vow itself, that it ought to be in a thing possible, that it ought to be free, and chosen spontaneously and deliberately? But it is not unknown to what extent perpetual chastity is in the power of man. And how few are there who have taken the vow spontaneously and deliberately! Young maidens and men, before they are able to judge, are persuaded, and sometimes even compelled, to take the vow. Wherefore it is not fair to insist so rigorously on the obligation, since it is granted by all that it is against the nature of a vow to take it without spontaneous and deliberate action.


Since, therefore, ordinances instituted as things necessary, or with an opinion of meriting grace, are contrary to the Gospel, it follows that it is not lawful for any bishop to institute or exact such services. For it is necessary that the doctrine of Christian liberty be preserved in the churches, namely, that the bondage of the Law is not necessary to justification, as it is written in the Epistle to the Galatians, 5, 1: "Be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." It is necessary that the chief article of the Gospel be preserved, to wit, that we obtain grace freely by faith in Christ, and not for certain observances or acts of worship devised by men.


These are the chief articles which seem to be in controversy. For although we might have spoken of more abuses, yet, to avoid undue length, we have set forth the chief points, from which the rest may be readily judged. There have been great complaints concerning indulgences, pilgrimages, and the abuse of excommunications. The parishes have been vexed in many ways by the dealers in indulgences. There were endless contentions between the pastors and the monks concerning the parochial right, confessions, burials, sermons on extraordinary occasions, and innumerable other things. Issues of this sort we have passed over so that the chief points in this matter, having been briefly set forth, might be the more readily understood. Nor has anything been here said or adduced to the reproach of any one. Only those things have been recounted whereof we thought that it was necessary to speak, in order that it might be understood that in doctrine and ceremonies nothing has been received on our part against Scripture or the Church Catholic. For it is manifest that we have taken most diligent care that no new and ungodly doctrine should creep into our churches.


BOOK 10 Having manifested what he was and what he is, he shows the great fruit of his confession; and being about to examine by what method God and the happy life may be found, he enlarges on the nature and power of memory. Then he examines his own acts, thoughts and affections, viewed under the threefold division of temptation; and commemorates the Lord, the one mediator of God and men.


BOOK 11 The design of his confessions being declared, he seeks from God the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, and begins to expound the words of Genesis 1:1, concerning the creation of the world. The questions of rash disputers being refuted, "what did God before he created the world?" that he might the better overcome his opponents, he adds a copious disquisition concerning time.


The Sacrament of Penance is the method of the Church by which individual men and women may confess sins committed after baptism and have them absolved by a priest. Although it is not mandatory, the Catholic rite is traditionally conducted within a confessional box or booth. This sacrament is known by many names, including penance, reconciliation and confession. While official Church publications always refer to the sacrament as "Penance", "Reconciliation" or "Penance and Reconciliation".


This is happening in both San Francisco and Miami, reports Namrata Tripathi at MEA WorldWide. The archdioceses of both cities are enforcing stringent social distancing rules to make sure that confessionals can take place safely and confidentially. Booking appointments is an integral part of that process.


I would like a zoom class where you parish priests, would have online confessions with us Christians,because coronavirus has made us people in Kenya not go to church because of lockdown, please make this happen.


1. There is but one only,a living, and true God:b who is infinite in being and perfection,c a most pure spirit,d invisible,e without body, parts,f or passions,g immutable,h immense,i eternal,k incomprehensible,l almighty,m most wise,n most holy,o most free,p most absolute,q working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable and most righteous will,r for His own glory;s most loving,t gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin;u the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him;w and withal, most just and terrible in His judgments,x hating all sin,y and who will by no means clear the guilty.z


1. God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of His own will, freely, and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass:a yet so, as thereby neither is God the author of sin,b nor is violence offered to the will of the creatures, nor is the liberty or contingency of second causes taken away, but rather established.c


5. Those of mankind that are predestinated unto life, God, before the foundation of the world was laid, according to His eternal and immutable purpose, and the secret counsel and good pleasure of His will, hath chosen, in Christ, unto everlasting glory,i out of His mere free grace and love, without any foresight of faith or good works, or perseverance in either of them, or any other thing in the creature, as conditions, or causes moving Him thereunto:k and all to the praise of His glorious grace.l


6. As God hath appointed the elect unto glory, so hath He, by the eternal and most free purpose of His will, foreordained all the means thereunto.m Wherefore they who are elected, being fallen in Adam, are redeemed by Christ,n are effectually called unto faith in Christ by His Spirit working in due season, are justified, adopted, sanctified,o and kept by His power through faith unto salvation.p Neither are any other redeemed by Christ, effectually called, justified, adopted, sanctified, and saved, but the elect only.q


1. God the great Creator of all things doth uphold,a direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things,b from the greatest even to the least,c by His most wise and holy providence,d according to His infallible foreknowledge,e and the free and immutable counsel of His own will,f to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy.g


2. Although, in relation to the foreknowledge and decree of God, the first Cause, all things come to pass immutably, and infallibly:h yet, by the same providence, He ordereth them to fall out, according to the nature of second causes, either necessarily, freely, or contingently.i


3. Man by his fall having made himself incapable of life by that covenant, the Lord was pleased to make a second,e commonly called the covenant of grace; wherein He freely offereth unto sinners life and salvation by Jesus Christ, requiring of them faith in Him that they may be saved,f and promising to give unto all those that are ordained unto life His Holy Spirit, to make them willing and able to believe.g


4. When God converts a sinner, and translates him into the state of grace, He freeth him from his natural bondage under sin;h and, by His grace alone, enables him freely to will and to do that which is spiritually good;i yet so, as that by reason of his remaining corruption, he doth not perfectly, nor only, will that which is good, but doth also will that which is evil.k


1. All those whom God hath predestinated unto life, and those only, He is pleased in His appointed and accepted time effectually to call,a by His Word and Spirit,b out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ;c enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God;d taking away their heart of stone, and giving unto them a heart of flesh;e renewing their wills, and by His almighty power determining them to that which is good,f and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ:g yet so, as they come most freely, being made willing by His grace.h


6. As every man is bound to make private confession of his sins to God, praying for the pardon thereof;l upon which, and the forsaking of them, he shall find mercy:m so, he that scandalizeth his brother, or the Church of Christ, ought to be willing, by a private or public confession, and sorrow for his sin, to declare his repentance to those that are offended,n who are thereupon to be reconciled to him, and in love to receive him.o


2. This perseverance of the saints depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father;b upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ;c the abiding of the Spirit, and of the seed of God within them;d and the nature of the covenant of grace:e from all which ariseth also the certainty and infallibility thereof.f 2ff7e9595c
