When I was in my teens and going to church I knew several people having these prodigal son conversions. Paul on the road to damascus sort of thing. Great amount of tears and joy over the lost being saved. When I would read about some person being saved in a book or magazine it was always this great amount of peace, immediate assurance of salvation, obvious feeling of presence of Christ, joy and worshiping God.
So I came to believe that if you didn't have this experience then your prayer for salvation was denied or not heard. Maybe you didn't really mean it, maybe you didn't word it the right way. Whatever the reason you were denied entry into the book of life, God has his face turned as it were.
So my question is , how many of you have had the conversion experience? How many of you think you are saved but never had this? Is it an obvious assurance of salvation when this happens? If it hasn't happened have you always wondered?
