Does everyone remember the day they were saved? The answer I have been hearing is 'Of course', 'Absolutely' and 'If not, you are not saved'. But hear me out before answering first:
Family background - only attended the community church on Christmas Eve, bible 'camp' a couple of summers, no Christian support from family
Personnal background - I am a very private person and have always felt my relationship with God is between me and God. Thus, I have a hard time 'talking' to individuals about this subject. I have, however, been on my knees in private several times in the last five years asking Jesus to come into my life, saying 'the prayer', confessing that Jesus died on the cross for me. I realize it only takes 'once' but I never felt 'any different' the next day thus I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. After attending church regularly for the last year and a half, I was starting to feel a little more confident about my relationship with God. I even got baptized to publicly show my devotion in hopes that it would end my skepticism. Recently, the Sunday sermons have been on the subjects of 'you have to know that you know that you know' and 'everyone remembers the day they were saved'. Of course that has me all shaken up again because I don't have that 'day'.
I do remember two separate times in my earlier years; one when I was a teen and stood by the TV as they did a 'call to Jesus' on one of those TV evangelist shows and another when I was pregnant with my first child, did a bible study through the mail and then had a Pastor visit my house.
Bottom line question, is it possible that I was 'saved' during one of those moments and just didn't have the support afterwards to help me grow in Christ properly?
