It was on March 4.1999. My husband came home from work early but he was under conviction of sin and went to a pastor we knew. Ny husband came home and told me he had gotten saved, well right then and their I was under conviction but wasnt sure. I knew enough of the bible to know you must realise your a sinner in need of a saviour. Well I told my husband I needed to be saved. Well he takes me to the same pastor who led him to the Lord and their I knelt and asked Jesus into my heart. My husband and I share the same born again date. Amen.

I was raised in a christian home. I went to church one christmas eve night and after an altar call I went up and gave my heart to God. I was 10 y-o. I am 26 y-o today and I must say it hasn't been easy but what I have realized as I got older, I grew to become totally dependant on the Lord for everything. I had gone out of the ways of God once for about a year and I felt so miserable but I recommitted my life to christ and from then on. I couldn't begin to explain how he has given me a freedom. Because whenever I am going through, I can always trust him and know that he's gonna work it out for my good. Be blessed.

Not sure if this qualifies, but this is what happened to me.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

When I was a little girl at the zoo I was leaning heavy into the shark tank and my uncle came up behind me scared me and I almost fell in but he grabbed me. He saved me from being shark bait.

God gave me a brain. Thus, I was able to discern that all this "saved" stuff is self-delusional nonsense for people unable to take any sort of control or responsiblity for their lives. Thus I was saved from wasting my life. Thank you.

My child got saved first; how was I to raise the child if I didn't know the Lord? Therefore, I accepted Christ.

i was raised christian.. but my faith wasnt always strong.. then i started dating a girl who told me how personal her relationship with the lord is. it sounded crazy, but she told me of great things, and one night i opened my heart and preyed for him to come to me. a couple of nights later, i had the most lucid dream, that opened my eyes and changed my life, and even when it was happening, i knew it was much more then a dream.

Good question, I got SAVED by giving my heart to God and asking Jesus to take over my life. (I had screwed it up pretty badly myself)
