I cannot see the difference. Sin is sin. Holy is holy.

I believe you are mistaken to think the believer must first confess and repent in order to get a sin "washed away" after salvation. The believer has imputed righteousness. The believer rests in the righteousness of Christ. When you begin to trust in your own righteous works for your status before God you transfer your faith from Christ to yourself. Dangerous move.

I believe Adino danced around this issue in his last post in response to what I wrote.

I believe a good study on imputed righteousness will do you well.
Btw, glancing at your last post to Dan I had to notice you tried to connect the "washing of regeneration" to baptism. When
Titus 3:5 speaks of the "washing of regeneration" and the "renewing of the Holy Ghost" it refers to regeneration as the washing. Regeneration washes and the Holy Ghost renews. I do not see a reference to water baptism here at all.
God bless
