Yes, I do very clearly remember the night I accepted Jesus as my Savior. It was a Saturday Night in 1978 as a young 14 year girl.We were having drama at our church- it was called "I dreamed I searched Heaven for you". I had planned sitting as far in the back as I could - but I ended up on the second pew.
At the end of the drama - these ladies were dress as angels.And they were taking people into Heaven. I was amazed really.All I remember after that is the Pastor took me by the hand and walked with me to the alter . I don;t remember what I said - but I do know this I could have died that night and all would have been well for me.
I know the Lord had been dealing with my heart before that night.I just wouldn't listen.But that night something happened and I have never been the same.
I have not always been what I know I should have been- but I am nothing like I was or could have been.I am just sorry I have let the Lord down during my life and for that I am ashamed. But thank God my feet will never touch the flames of Hell- because I have been born again Thur Christ Jesus!
Thanks for such a good question!


Shouldn't all saved people remember that time in their lives?
If one can't they may need to check theirselves.

I was 17. I was at Acquire the Fire, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The speaker that night made some interesting comments about "cultural Christianity," which is only claiming Christ when it makes you look cool or gets you status, and praying only when you're in a jam, but otherwise not giving Him a thought.

The speaker's words hit me, and I went down up front with 4-500 other people. We all prayed and invited Christ into our lives. It was pretty powerful stuff.

17 and 18 year olds were crying and hugging. Right after that, they played that song "I Am Free." (The worship band that night was the Michael Gungor band, so that's the first version of "I Am Free" that I heard.)

It was pretty powerful. And that was a year and 2 months ago, on March 17, 2006.

I was first saved as a teenager although I have a dim recollection of it. After I left home, I put God on a back burner for several years.

One day I decided to accept an offer from an aquantaince to attend church service one Sunday...but I'm getting a little ahead of myself.

I had recently taken a rather bad fall and had badly bruised most of the bones in my right hand. I couldn't use it or even bend my fingers without considerable pain.

Anyway, back to the church service.

I was sitting there, about the third row back and finding it hard to concentrate of the sermon because of the pain in my hand. This was a Pentacostal church and the congregation was the enthusiastic type...lot's of singing and clapping for example.

Well, I made a couple attempts at clapping myself and that's why I was feeling so much pain in my hand. At one point, the preacher asked us to bow our heads for prayer. While we were praying, all of a sudden the pain in my hand just went away. I wasn't even praying for my hand but He healed me anyway. It was at that moment that I decided to rededicate my life to God.

That was the the turning point in my life and I'll never forget the experience.

My mother had passed away in August of 1966. I was searching for a reason and comfort. I was invited by a member of a church near my home to go to a Leighton Ford Crusade being held at a local arena. I went a couple of nights and soon things started making sense and I accepted Christ on Oct. 10,1969 and I have never looked back since.I do attend a different church but I feel right at home.

I had some friends when I was 20, they told me their personal experiences with God. I had felt like something was missing and so I began a search.
About a year later, when I was working somewhere, where people all lived in a dorm like environment and most people were having sex and doing some drugs etc.. I still felt something was missing.
I ended up having a few too many to drink and sleeping with my friends boyfriend. I felt so much shame and I became depressed.
I talked to my friends, who comforted me and told me about God's love, grace and mercy.
then suddenly Kerry asked me if I believed in God and I felt such a stirring in me. I said yes, with so much conviction I knew right then that it was right for me.
My life has never quite been the same since. I have still made many mistakes, had hard times, but I always remember God's love, mercy and grace.

Yes I remember the circumstances when I was saved. I had read a book a friend had given me, "The Late Great Planet Earth" by Hal Lindsay. It was on Bible prophecy, and what it said would happen in the last days was happening. I was saved at home.

Sure, I was about 12 years old. I had a friend who was a very good person. He was shot to death by his step-father along with his mother. Up until that event I did not know much of Jesus.

I have for the last 48 or so years had this vision of him and his mother living in heaven with God. It is ironic to me now that I can only remember his mothers face, how she looked in her coffin. I came up to her coffin and had to lean in to see her and her face shined back at me. And, although her death was violent, she told me it was OK, and that she was alright.
Not, literally, of course, but that is what her face told me.

As I walked home, I knew there was a God and that Jesus saved her and her son, and us all. I still think of her often and how her face told me those things and I know that she looks down at me and is happy that she did that for me. From that point on I have been a believer and my belief gets stronger all the time. Of course, my mother had a strong influence on me too.

Thank God to loving parents I was Baptized and saved at 8 days old. I don't remember anything about it but I am thankful. With the help of God's grace may I endure to final salvation.

In Christ

Yes, I was very sick and depressed. I never thought I could be healed again. and I was not sure if there was a God. I cried out and asked if there was a God who create it everything I want to see Him and know Him. and I saw Him and He spoke to me and I was healed and set free. I prayed and cried out for 3 months before I met with Him.
I had to come to the end myself. I did not understand why I was here for. Now I know. Jesus is Lord and He is my God.
