Exact moment you were saved???

I lean heavily towards the old Baptist “Already and not yet” …

… so I was ”saved” before the foundation of the earth when God’s plan was established and what WOULD BE was as certain as it it had already happened.
…. And I was saved when the Son of God declared “it is finished” (and it was) and died to redeem me.
…. And I was saved at that moment in time, decades ago, when an angry and self destructive nihilist was utterly transformed by an ordained encounter with the I AM.
… And I am saved daily as His Spirit continues to transform me from what I was towards what He is molding me into.
… And I will ultimately be saved, when I finish the race (by His grace) and He completes the transformation.


Romans 8:30 [NLT] And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.

Only a Calvinist/Sovereign Grace could answer that question with that statement.

This is declaring to be saved before birth, and is not found in Scripture.

I was saved at 15 years old in a Sunday night service when I repented of my sins believing in what Christ did for me.

Before that I was a sinner separated from the righteousness that Christ earned on that Cross.

Note what even the Particular Baptists meeting in London in 1689 taught on this:

Q. Whether believers were not actually reconciled to God, actually justified, and adopted, when Christ died?

A. That the reconciliation, justification, and adoption of believers, are infallibly secured by the gracious purpose of God, and merit of Jesus Christ. Yet none can be said to be actually reconciled, justified, or adopted, until they are really implanted into Jesus Christ by faith; and so by virtue of this their union with him, have these fundamental benefits actually conveyed unto them. And this, we conceive, is fully evidenced, because the scripture attributes all these benefits to faith as the instrumental cause of them, Rom. iii. 25. v. 1, ll. Gal. iii. 26. And gives such representation of the state of the elect before faith, as is altogether inconsistent with an actual right in them. Eph. ii. 1, 2, 3, 12.

In 33AD Mark 14:12, "And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?" was a Friday [April 3] the 6th day of the week and the day according to Mark before Mark 14:17.

"And in the evening he cometh with the twelve."
