Yes, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior and confessed him and asked him to save me.
My path crossed a man who loved the Lord one day and for many months he taught me the word of God, while I resisted, Finally I broke down and knew it was the truth and received it on my own.

I was in church last year, after being in church for over 2 years... I knew I wasnt saved, but I didnt know why. I was married, had 3 children, and lived "good" like I was supposed too.
There was a revival at my church, and my Pastor on a whim decided to extend it. It was supposed to end Sunday night, and that night he asked the preachers to stay until Wednesday. He said that he thought the beginning of the revival peoples hearts were still tough, but the holy Spirit was starting to work...
I wasnt going to go to the service on wednesday because I have 3 kids and my husband was at work and didnt have a car, but I just knew I had to be there, so right before the service I called my mom to come get me and take me.
I listened to the preacher preach, and I realized in a instance that salvation does not come in the form of a 1-2-3 repeat after me prayer. I had prayed the prayer so many times it makes me sick thinking one time it would work. I realized I was a sinner, and repented of my sins, and realized Jesus came to save me by dying on the cross.
Salvation is so different then I imagined it would be from past experiences. I thought it would feel this way, or do this, or come like that... It wasnt, it was realizing who I was before a Holy and Just God. And asking him to forgive me, giving up my life to him. I am so happy I did too, nothing is more fulfilling in life then living for the most gracious and wonderful God and Saviour :)

I had been to church most of my life. Then at age 12 I had a pulling at my heart that I cannot explain. Then I realized God wanted me to decide whether or not I would accept Christ. I agonized over walking the aisle at church to confess I wanted to be a Christian. After weeks of this I finally took the first step into the aisle and before I knew it I was at the front and the minister met me and prayed with me. It was like a load lifted from my spirit.

Yes, I am a born again Christian. It's kind of a long story, but I will make it short. I was raised a catholic, but I just could never get into the religion. As I got older, I didn't really follow a religion for awhile. One day a friend took me to a tarot card readers house and I was so facinated that I wanted to learn to read. Well, I learned to read and ended up getting into much more, like spells and stuff. Not too long after that I started to study wicca because it seemed like a comfortable religion to follow. Was I ever decieved! While I was reading cards and into wicca, I just had a really bad life. Everything that could go wrong did. I thought about going back to the catholic religion I grew up with, but I still wasn't sure. I was a lost soul. One day I just prayed to God and asked Him to please show me the truth. Well, about a week later my brother-in-law asked me to go to a friends house with him. I agreed, but when I got there I didn't know that I was going to a very Christian house. When we got there we had supper and after that I was handed a Bible and got witnessed to. I was told that if I kept up my lifestyle, it would send me straight to hell. After I got home, I still was not sure, but then my brother-in-law invited me to a few family Bible studies, so I went. After a few of these, I finally started to catch on. One day I just prayed to God and asked His forgiveness for all of my terrible sins and lifestyle. I then accepted Jesus into my heart and life forever. After this I burned every tarot card and witchcraft book I owned. I also renounced the catholic religion. I still get convicted, as I know the Holy Spirit works with me all the time. I still stumble at times, but I know that God will always be with me forever. Now I live a happy life without all the bad luck like I use to have.

God is our salvation.
Romans 10:9-10 talks about salvation. Other quotes Romans5:9-11; 8:21-25 also deals with salvation.
If you want more detail, consult the book.

As a child I struggled to understand and comply with my church's insistence that I "accept Jesus into my heart." It didn't work, so for awhile I faked it. I assume that the speaking in tongues thing is similar for Pentacostals. Eventually, I realized it was all b.s.
So, I was sort of saved and then unsaved.

As a teen I was miserable and suicidal. I asked God to show me Who He was and to tell me why He made me. Several years later when I was 24 years old He revealed Himself through a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. And then He revealed His purpose for giving me life. I have never had any doubt of Who God is and what my purpose is from that day on. That was many years ago.

Everyone Who accepts Christ is a born-again Christian.
You say "Lord I accept you into my Life and make you the lord and saviour of my life." You read the bIble and grow in spirit and then get baptised.

yes. I got saved when I asked Jesus to come into my heart. It was simple, sweet and pure. It was an experience that I can remember every detail of as though it were yesterday (it's been many, many years ago).

By realizing I deserved condemnation, that I've always felt the existence of God was real, and that Christ was the most clear manifestation of God.
