Christians, when were you saved?

My view on this is that you have to acknowlege the Lamb (Jesus) who was slalin for our sin and when you acknowle Him you are then saved, not before.

John 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."

Jesus said , "He that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved". MAtthew 24:13 .So a person's final salvation in not determined at the moment that he begins to put faith in Jesus.

1 Corinthians 10:12 tells us, " - - let him that thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall".

(See also Hebrews 10:26, 27 and 6:4-6)

So the Bible does not go along with the idea that no matter what sin a person may commit after he is "saved" he will not lose his salvation.

At age 8 in Sunday School - but it meant more to me when I became a teenager. Have followed Jesus and not regretted it for the last 55+ years.

After the battle of Armageddon, when all the evil in the world is destroyed and you are still alive and 1000 years pass and you have returned to perfection and Satan is let out of his confinement and allowed to try to persuade anyone to follow him and then he and all his followers are destroyed and you are still alive, then you can say, I've been saved. Any time you say it before then you are only kidding yourself.

There is no such thing as being "saved" while you are still living. Salvation is a life long struggle.

Salvation is not a one time act. It is a lifetime of action.

1980 was when God's Holy Spirit really moved in on me.

And I have been learning ever since . . .
