All sins except the denial of the Holy Ghost can be forgiven. The Book of Mormon says in Alma 39:6 "For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once has had place in you, and ye know that ye deny it, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable." This verse agrees with Matthew 12:31, which states that "Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven"
It is not exactly clear in Church doctrines and writings what denying the Holy Ghost entails, but it has been described as staring at the sun and saying it does not shine. Many Church members assume it applies to those who have had a sure witness that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true, and then deny that witness willingly. Only these will be in 'Outer Darkness' or Hell.
Alma 39:6 goes on to explain that "whosoever murdereth... it is not easy for him to obtain forgiveness; yea, I say unto you, my son, that it is not easy for him to obtain a forgiveness." Because of this, murder of the innocent is considered the second worst sin, but it is forgiveable.
Earlier verses in this chapter explain that sexual sins, including consorting with "harlots", are the third most grevious sin, but are also forgivable.
Despite all this, The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church state that "I the Lord will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men." (D&C 64:10) Thus, Church members are required to personally forgive all who have wronged them.

Will moral sins be forgiven?
Of course, the only sins which cannot be forgiven are the unforgivable sin which is the sin against Hope (the second of the Cardinal Virtues). The sins against hope which cannot be forgiven are presumption and despair.The former is akin to the Protestant theory that once you are "saved" you cannot do anything to lose your salvation. That is presumption and is unforgivable as you don't think you need forgiveness.The latter, despair, is unforgivable as you don't think you can be forgiven for whatever reason: you think you have committed too many sins, or too horrible a sin, or whatever.The sins against hope cannot be forgiven for the simple reason that you cannot be contrite and ASK for forgiveness. God will forgive ANYTHING as long as we repent of it - which is not just being sorry for it, but trying not to do it again.Sins which we have not yet done cannot be forgiven until AFTER we do them, and repent of them. But all mortal sins can be forgiven as long as we confess them and repent. It is only when we are not contrite and repentant that we cannot be forgiven.
Are all of your sins forgiven even if you don't confess them?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, not normally. If you are referring to a good confession in which you, perhaps, honestly forgot a sin, then, yes, in that instance, the sin would be forgiven IF you mention it during your next confession, and tell the priest that you honestly forgot it last time. But if you are asking if your sins are forgiven if you just neglect to go to confession and tell all of them, then no. Jesus set up confession as the normal way of having your sins forgiven, and you must abide by that.

How many times should one play for a sin committed?
I assume that you meant "pray". You should ask for forgiveness for the sins that you have committed once. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins" (1 John 1:9). When someone is forgiven it doesn't mean that the person forgiving will keep dragging it up. You are forgiven and that is it. God also says that when we are forgiven, "he remembers our sins no more" (Jer 31:34). This doesn't mean that God actually forgets things, he just doesn't count our sins against us any more. If you keep saying sorry for the same sin, it shows that you don't believe that God has forgiven you. Trust that God in his grace loves you and if you have truly repented, has forgiven you totally and truly once and for all, and that's all you need.
