Astro whereby I appreciate your vigor for the Lord, I have to say that this question is somewhat 2 dimensional. Only because in reformed theology, God saves the sinner; however, He regenerates the heart of sinner, so that the sinner "wants" to choose Christ. In a nutshell I chose Christ; however, only because he opened the eyes of my heart to able to choose Him, thus it is God who saves me...but I still accept Christ as my Lord and Saviour, based upon my newly regenerated heart, which is a working of The Holy Spirit. I hope that makes sense. linkbolt |

The Sovereignty of God. What do we mean by this expression? We mean the supremacy of God, the kingship of God, the god-hood of God. To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that God is God. To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that He is the Most High, doing according to His will in the army of Heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth, so that none can stay His hand or say unto Him what doest Thou? (Dan. 4:35).

God saved me, definitely, he is keeping me saved, I am inprisoned by his grace, and my flesh is trying to form an escape plan

In answer to the question, i would say it feels like i gave my heart to Christ, but the bible tells me God saved me, so he gets the glory...I submit to scripture over my feelings. |

NO NO NO! Chuck Norris doesn't need a time machine to send you back in time, he just uses the flash that comes from his kicks to send "you back in time." His kicks are faster then the speed of light. linkbolt |

if you want to be saved then "repeat this word after me, Jesus I accept you as my Lord and Saviour".
or
Preacher: If you want to be saved then accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. will that guarantee person's salvation?

Yes if you have will to accept Jesus as Savior and the ability to recognize and repent of your sins, you are among "the elect." |

Yes, as long as the Holy Spirit has regenerated you in order to sincerely respond. I think your options are rather simplistic, because it lacks an explanation of the Gospel. Are we assuming that the Gospel has been fully and faithfully proclaimed and THEN the above invitation is set forth? |

Are we assuming that the Gospel has been fully and faithfully proclaimed and THEN the above invitation is set forth? Why would anyone need to hear the Gospel, I chose Jesus as my savior, because the guy told me, that Jesus loves me, I was like, I love me too, and then the guy said that Jesus wanted to give me a purpose for my life, and I was like I could use a purpose, he told me that Jesus would give me anything and everything that my heart desired, and I was like, I want anything and everything my heart desires. Unlike Buddha who just wants me to give up all of my earthly desires so I can become a jedi just like him, or Mohamed, who said I have to pray 5 times a day, Jesus just wants me to choose him, so I checked yes. |
