At the church meeting, you must confess your sins.

 

 

Didache

(1st Century)

14:1-3:

 

On every Lord's Day—His special day—come together and break bread and give thanks, first confessing your sins so that your sacrifice may be pure. Anyone in conflict with his neighbor must not join you until they reconcile, so your sacrifice will not be defiled. For it was of this sacrifice that the Lord said, "Always and everywhere offer me a pure sacrifice; for I am a great King, says the Lord, and my name is marveled at by the nations."

 

 

Barnabas’ Epistle

(1st Century)

Chapter 19:

 

You will confess your sins.
