accepting Christ
Personal salvation decision
Accepting Christ is a Christian expression for the moment of personal conversion—committing to faith in Jesus as savior.
The phrase emphasizes individual choice and is especially common in evangelical traditions, where it often marks a dramatic turning point: She accepted Christ at a revival meeting when she was sixteen.
Sometimes shortened to accept Jesus or accept the Lord.
