Abstract

Neuenschwander provides a word study of confession. He concludes that the scriptures include two usages of “confess.” The first is a confession of God, his power and authority. This is a declaration of belief. (Mosiah 4:9, 11-12, 27:31; Alma 18:24, 22:17, 30:17). The second use is confessing to God our sins. 2 Nephi 2:26, 9:7 28:8; Mosiah 14:5; Alma 1:4, 30:18; 3 Nephi 17:5-6, 17:14).
