I thought that I was saved for close to 9 years and at church camp last year the speaker us going around the room asking when we got saved saying that if we was truly saved we should be able to tell him when we got saved and the whole time I was hoping he wouldn't call on me. I could not think of when I got saved, that is when I truly realized I was not saved. I denied it for about half a year then one day I was at my sisters church and the pastor was talking about when the Lord comes back how we need to be ready, I kept on talking my self out of going to the alter because I didn't go there. The next Sunday my preacher preached on the exact same thing and I went to the alter and got saved.

Just know that you do not have to go to a church to be saved. What saves you is coming to a place of brokenness where you see your own sins and how you have to repent and turn from your sins and turn to Christ Jesus and make him Lord over everything in your life. He will then give you a new heart that has new desires and wants to please and serve Him only. That is why the pastor said that if you can't pin point a time when you were saved, then it wasn't a true conversion. God bless you.
