I appreciate you trying to add clarity to this matter.

Does the following sound consistant with what you said?

Quote
During the service, the minister led the congregation to recite a forgiveness confession that was displayed on the over-head.
After this the minister said something to the effect of: "Based on your confession and on the authority as a minister of the Gospel, I proclaim that your sins are forgiven."

To me this sounds like easy believism.
