Christians, at what age did you realize Jesus was God & asked Him to be your savior?

I'm just curious at what age you were when you became aware of Jesus's divinity & how old you were when you asked Him to be your Savior.

Update:

James O- I prayed the prayer of Salvation at 6 and I believe I was saved then but I backslid horribly and at 22, I rededicated my life to Christ. Thank you for your thoughts. :O)

    to be honest

    I can't remember

    Though I was born again this year

    Being born again is essential to your entry to heaven

    John chapter 3 verse 1 - 21

    1There was a man named Nicodemus who was one of the Pharisees and an important Jewish leader.

    2One night Nicoddemus came to Jesus and said "Teacher, we know you are a teacher sent from God, because no one can do the miracles you do unless God is with him."

    3Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, unless one is born again, he cannot be in God's kindom."

    4Nicodemus said, "But if a person is already old, how can he be born again? He cannot enter his mother's body again. So how can a person be born a second time?"

    5But Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, unless one is born from water and the Spirit, he cannot enter God's kingdom.

    6Human life comes from human parents, but spiritual life comes from Spirit.

    7Dont be surpised when I tell you, 'You must be born again.'

    8The wind blows where it wants to and you hear the sound of it, but you don't know where the wind comes from or where it is going. It is the same with every person who is born from the Spirit."

    9Nidodemus asked, "How can this happen?"

    10Jesus said, "You are an important teacher in Israel and you don't understand these things?

    11I tell you the truth, we talk about what we know, and we tell about what we have seen, but you don't accept what we tell you.

    12I have told you about things here on earth, and you do not believe me. So you will not believe me if I tell you about things in heaven.

    13The only one who has ever gone up to heaven is the One who came down from heaven---the Son of Man.

    14"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, the Son of Man mult also be lifted up.

    15So that everyone who believes can have eternal life in him.

    16"God loved the world so muchthat he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.

    17God did not send his Son into the world to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him.

    18People who believe in God's Son are not judged guilty. Those who do not believe have already been judged guilty, because they have not believed in God's one and only Son.

    19They are Judged by this fact: the Light has come into the world, but they did not want the light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things .

    20All who do evil hate the light and will not come to the light, because it will show all the evil things they do.

    21But those who follow the true way come to the light, and it shows that the things they do were done through God."

    I invite you to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life by praying thus:

    "O Lord God I come to you in the Name of Jesus Christ. Your word says, "...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21).

    I ask Jesus to come into my heart to be the Lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit

    and according to Romans 10:9 "That if thouh shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved; I am born-again; O am a child of God! I now have Christ dwelling in me, and greater is He that is me than he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4). I now walk in the consciousness of my new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah

    Read and believe

    but you need to speak it out loud

    and believe in your heart

    Tell me how it goes

    hope this helps

    I'm 61 now & I became aware of Jesus when I was in grammar school but they didn't teach me about salvation. So, at the age of 43 is when I asked Jesus Christ into my life. That is when I was working & my ex-employer had witnessed to me.

    because of the fact he's !!!! The final financial disaster of Revelation describes God and the Lamb in the singular (Revelation 22:3-4) and identifies our lord god of the holy prophets as Jesus (Revelation 22:6, sixteen). those references let us know that Jesus is the God of eternity and that he will seem together with his glorified human physique (the Lamb) throughout the time of eternity. God's glory may be the sunshine for the recent Jerusalem because it shines in the path of the glorified physique of Jesus (Revelation 21:23). those final chapters of the e book of Revelation describes how God will exhibit (unveil) Himself in all His glory to every person perpetually. They let us know that Jesus is the eternal God and that Jesus will exhibit Himself as God throughout the time of eternity.

    I've heard it all of my Catholic life. I never understood it, until I renounced Catholicism. That was at the age of 27.

    I learned what the trinity doctrine was with my Bible study. I reject it even today. There is only one True God who is one person, the Father Jehovah.
