Re: How Old Were You When You Got Saved?

When I was young child in Baptist Church, gave my heart to the Lord and was baptized. As a teen, I didn't live for Him like I should've, but I never doubted one minute how real He was. Introduced to Pentecost at 18 by my fiance, brand new to me, but after studying Acts, was convinced I wanted to come back to God, 100%. Was baptized in Jesus' Name 21 years old and received Holy Ghost 3 days after turning 22! Never looked back and He's sweeter every day!

Re: How Old Were You When You Got Saved?

Started the journey at 12 I think. I don't think I will be "saved" until the end though. I definitely feel like I am on the narrow path, though I guess some would disagree! :-/

Re: How Old Were You When You Got Saved?

This is amazing. So far its 12 to 1 ratio of people coming to Christ when they are young compared to when they are old. We are glad when someone who is older (no offence Arphaxad) comes to the Lord Jesus Christ. But this is verifying what I have seen in my own experience in witnessing over the years.

Generally if one doesnt get saved young they dont get saved.

Remember I said "generally". There are certainly exceptions.

That could explain why most outreach is geared to younger people.

Re: How Old Were You When You Got Saved?

I don't know because I do not know how old I will be when I have endured unto the end.

I was born of water and spirit when I was 25.
I told my partying friends that God was real when I was 15.
I knew definitively that there was a God when I was eight years old singing in my United Presbyterian youth choir.
