`  ::As a protestant, I'm not sure that I fully agree with the quoted section from the article above.  Don't protestants believe that Jesus Christ is the mediator between the sinner and God the Father (cf John 14:6, Romans 8:34)?  Don't protestants pray  to God for the forgiveness of sins (as well as for other matters), or in fact do anything, in the name of Jesus Christ, their mediator (cf Hebrew 13:15, Colossions 3:17, Ephesians 5:20)?  ::I'd propose changing the above (I haven't checked if the article has changed since this talk section was started) to ``Protestants believe that apart from Jesus Christ, no intermediary is necessary between a person and God, for that person to be absolved from sins. Protestants believe that if a person acknowledges the Lordship of Jesus Chirst, and believes in their heart that God raised him from the dead, then that person will gain God's pardon. This acknowledgement is usually made first in private, and then in public. Protestants do not belive that each sin needs to be individually confessed to be forgiven.``  ::Please provide comments on this redefinition of the protestant view.  `
