i don't remember exactly when i got saved... but i do remember that i was so ashamed of myself for a being a sinner... i was like 13 years old. i was crying and on my knees praying to Jesus to come save me, praying that i would try to be a good follower. ever since, my life has turned brighter... but darker at the same time. i was happy that my cousins were saved but my own family hated it when i talked about God.... my brothers even said that i was so different. That led me doubting God's power... my little kitten that i loved so much had died... i thot really that God wasn't real, cuz i thot that he wouldn't let me suffer like this... but then my mother came to me and started talking about God and how great he was. My mother! she NEVER talked about God before. i was truly surprised and then i knew... God gave me a sign that he is REAL! he sent my mother to tell me the truth... he is helping my family after all! i pray for my whole family to be saved every night. one day God will help them, just like he helped me see the truth, for Jesus said..." The Truth will set you free!"

I don't remember exactly. I was young & knew I was a sinner but didn't really know why. During praise & worship service, I loved to sing the salvation songs. Song is spiritual. I prayed, "Come into my heart. Come into my heart. Come into my heart Lord Jesus. Come in today. Come in to stay. Come into my heart Lord Jesus. In Sunday school I was taught the salvation plan. I believe this is when I was born of God.
That didn't stop me from forgetting about God when I married & moved away. 10 years after graduating from High school, I was reminded at my 10 year class reunion. I sinned then. Got drunk & had a black out. I prayed to God again. Because I thougt I could. Went into a aprox. 1 year total breakdown, where I was stuck in the dream domain. In the process, all accumilated idols got fried.
Desperate, I sought God at churches. God delivered me from much at one church. I went forward a few times. Each time God delivered me from something. Then the biggest deliverence was, i think the 4th time, when the Holy Spirit overwhelmed with love language to God. At home the Holy Spirit revealed to me that He was the Spirit of Truth & would lead me into all truth & would not lie. He told me to toss the mormon book out.
It was the first full night sleep I have had in a long time, and not remembering what happened all night long.
I was given eternal life when I was born of God. But God saves me from something every day. I have many testimonies.

August 21, 1979 late in the evening sitting on the couch all alone in my living room. I will never forget that moment of my life. To suddenly be full of the Holy Spirit and experience the love and forgiveness that comes from accepting Jesus as ones Lord and Savior is indescribable, lasting and all the way through ones being. Amazing!! God is soooooo good!

No. I don't remember the day or hour I was saved.
I just remember being surprised that I was really listening to Christians.
I was brought up in a non-Christian home. I was taught to bash Christains. I was taught evolution, and believed it.
My husband became a Christian and wanted me to attend church with him. I went and really listened. The preacher was very knowledgable and I don't know when...I just started to believe. It wasn't immediate. It took time because I had lots of questions. But slowly, I accepted it.

July 21 1991, I was alone in my living room and knelt down right there in front of my couch and asked Jesus to come into my heart and forgive me of my sins and be Lord of my life. I can't even describe everything that happened in that instant, a lot of sadness and bitterness I had carried all my life fell off right there. i lived in the same town as my parents for 4 years without saying anything to them, all of a sudden I wanted to visit them and see how they were. I went to work that morning singing a Sinead Oconnor song "now I feel so different" and there was a big smile right across my face for days afterward, I still smile all the time.

Actually I don't remember the date. I was much younger and the first time I tried I wasn't sure if I was really saved. So I saved myself a second time. Soon I ended up being saved like, 10 times! Now I definatly know that I believe.

Yes, I do, it was the 18th of August, and I will have been saved 37 years this coming 18th of August.
I can remember the joy of knowing my sins forgiven, the assurance of a home in Heaven awaiting me, and looking forward to a life serving the Lord Jesus, which has been a privilage.

I'm kind of confused about that. I worked my way up to being saved. I was "Christian" but skeptical all my life. Then 2 years ago new neighbors moved in who taught me a ton about Christ and I started to really believe, but I feel that just recently I have dedicated my life to Christ. Was I saved recently or 2 years ago? I'm not sure.
God bless!

The concept of a Christian choosing salvation only came into being about 200 years ago. Before that Christians knew that only God elected the saved, and that wouldn't be known until death!

Sweet- glad you found Peace! For me I would say early 1990's I knew I was saved, but only recently did I know what it meant to be the Christian I became.
