1 | Identifying the born again moment | 2 Cor 13:5 | Dalprad | 57370 | ||
The minister in my church closes each service with an invitation to believe in Christ. He is very adamant about being able to identify the moment you were born again. In fact on the membership sheet, there is a place where you are to put the month year of your conversion. Although I remember the general period in my life where I began to shift my trust from myself to Christ, I do not have a memorable defining moment that I can attest to. Can someone comment on this dilemma? | ||||||

A time of decision doesn't necessarily prove or disprove the existence of saving faith. 'A Time of Decision 'So often people say things like: "Well, I know I'm a Christian, because I remember when I signed the card," or "I remember when I prayed a prayer," or "I remember when I walked the aisle" or "went forward in church." A person may remember exactly when it happened and where they were when "it" happened, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Our salvation is not verified by a past moment. Many people have prayed prayers, gone forward in church services, signed cards, gone into prayer rooms, been baptized, and joined churches without ever experiencing genuine saving faith' (www.gty.org/IssuesandAnswers/archive/genuinefaith.htm). |

Let this not be a dilemma for you because whether you live or not live in Christ is a decision made everyday of your life, and know that you can not be snatched from Him after GOD has given you to Him. When we get married we may remember our wedding day but each day we must decide whether to live as a married person or a single person. May GOD bless you always, deb |
