Generation

# 1 John 1:9 and Baptism 1 John 1:9 states: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (ESV). This verse does not actually teach about baptism at all. It addresses the ongoing confession of sins by believers and God's faithfulness to forgive, focusing on spiritual cleansing through confession rather than the sacrament or ordinance of baptism.
