If you have accepted Christ as you Savior from Sin tell me about it:?

Question

When you accepted Christ, how old were you, who told you about Him, where were you when you prayed for the Lord's forgiveness? What was it like? What were the circumstances that led up to your salvations? How many people have you told since it happened?

Answer 1

I was thirteen when I made the decision to follow Christ. I had grown up in the Methodist church, but as I got older I found that it wasn't enough to join the church just because my family had always gone there. I started asking God to show me my place in His Kingdom. My mother was upset at first that I didn't want to join the church, but I told her how I felt about it and that I wasn't rejecting God. We started searching for a different church to attend. We came to a Baptist Cchurch, and that became home. Jesus as Savious was taught by our pastor there- a dear man who is very much like family.
I had been reading a lot about the Greek and Roman gods and godesses. It occurred to me that there just couldn't be so many. There could be only one. I thought about how these gods destroyed each other. It made sense that God had to be an uncreated being- outside space and time. Someone who couldn't be destroyed.
I remember the night I actually prayed to receive Jesus. it was very late at night, and I was star gazing, when I felt God's Presence. It was a warm feeling, almost like electricity going through me.
I share my faith whenever possible. I would guess there have been a couple hundred people I have told since then.
Thanks for asking
God bless

Answer 2

I made a formal profession of Christ as my Savior when I was 13 and attending a vacation Bible school. The teacher asked if anyone wanted to accept Christ, and I publically confessed Him for the first time.

But I'd known and loved Him ever since I was little. My grandmother had a picture of Christ returning in glory, and the caption was, "He is coming again soon." I couldn't have been much older than seven or eight, but I remember hoping that His return would be during my lifetime.

Even as a young child, I was very intense and aware of the spiritual realm around us. My mom taught me to read when I was four, and I had books of Bible stories for children and my own Bible. The more I read about Jesus, the more that I loved Him and all the good that He did.

And I tell anybody who wants to know about my Savior and Friend, Jesus, and how I came to know Him.

Answer 3

I was in sixth grade, I was 12 years old,
I was in a private school assembly when they invited people up to receive Christ's forgiveness.

It was the most powerful experience ever, before I had been studying in bible classes theology, the bible in detail and I decided I wanted to believe it.

I think everyone I know know's I am a Christian.

It is hard to explain what it is like to receive Christ's salvation.
everyone has different experiences when it happens.

If you want to become a Christian you need to pray the Sinner's Pray OUT LOUD to Jesus. Make sure you state you are a sinner and you know that Jesus is the only way to Salvation.

If you don't know how to do this I would ask your pastor, and he will help you receive Christ's forgiveness

Answer 4

I was 26 years old, and I had always heard about Him, and went to church alot, but I never got much out of it, but the I started going to a non-denominational church that focuses on God's Word, and it all hit home. the reality of Christ was finally clear to me, and I tell everyone who will listen to me about it. Since then I have been baptized in the Holy Spirit and had the boldness through the Spirit to spread His Word whenever I can. Jesus said that He would baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire and He has sure delivered. That fire burns in me all day, constantly on my mind, and it's great. I have never been so confident and peaceful in my life. All this has happened in the last 8 months or so.

Answer 6

I was 8 years old, my sunday school teacher asked if I wanted to accept him. I was thousands of miles away from my home (we were living in the philippines at the time). I definitely felt a difference. I was raised in a Christian home and always believed in God, this was the day I actually understood what he wanted from me. I've lost count of how many people I've told. I wish I could remember my Sunday School teacher's name, I would love to go back to the PI and meet her again.

Answer 7

I've pretty much grown up in the church, but I was comfirmed in the 6th grade and baptized a little before that.
I don't walk around saying "look at me! I'm a christian" , but I do answer questions if asked and most people do know I'm christian.

Answer 8

John 3 says no longer something about lack of life for sins, nor about Heaven. in person-friendly words with assistance from utilizing elements of actuality outdoors of the Bible ought to you interpret it that way. Does your faith teach that there are elements of actuality outdoors the Bible, mandatory to appreciate Salvation? That custom could tell our reading of the Bible, enlightening us previous what's it appears that evidently written? John 3 does say that we opt to be born again via WATER and the Holy Spirit, to verify the dominion of God. i'm fairly satisfied to settle for the answer, from custom, that this refers to Baptism. yet then, my faith does no longer declare the Bible contains the completed thing of actuality.

Answer 10
