Here's one view of excommunication:

Excommunication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just thinking that IF all of us who what to join the LDS Church if we all had to tell ALL our past trespases...the bishops would be very much buzy listening to us for the next few years. The fact that we want to get babtised shows that we have repended and are asking for forgiveness for all our past sins and that we are ready to let them go. Joining is NOT of what we have done, but what we are willing to do with our lifes onwarth!
Like someone here said there are however things one HAS to face before babtisement that is if one has done something that the law says one has to go to jail for... then we have to go to jail for it before babtizing. The case of sheding innocent blood will be posponed to later excistence.

There is no need for such things as "re-confession" in our church. Unless you have committed a crime that requires answering before the law and the Bishop will ask you before baptism, ALL you are required to do is confess to the Lord your sins, seek sincere repentance and desire such thru baptism.

You will receive lessons thru the missionaries and several principles will be taught to you. If you declare in faith and it truth that you understand them and that you promise to abide by them and live from that point forward according to such principles you are good to go, my brother. The Lords looks forward to embracing you in His kingdom and so am I.
