Ummmm
It can happen in less than a day. Even in less than an hour.
YMMV.

Greetings Pearl,
I just read this on my MSN news feed. "Could I become a Christian in a year?" What would be your answer?
The following Samaritans became Christians on the day, but they may have had some preparation by previous encounters, and they had Philip who would have preached a powerful message and with a proper conviction and the strength of the pure Gospel. They also had the witness of miracles, possibly healing of a few.

Acts 8:5-6,12: 5Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 6And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
12But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.


We find that most of our converts need to attend instruction at our public seminars for quite some time and then private instruction, especially if they have a background some of the normal wrong Protestant doctrines concerning God and immortal souls.

Kind regards
Trevor

Some people take a lifetime to reach that point in their life.

One moment and in the twinkling of an eye, you can become a Christian, and angels will rejoice with you. It is always instantaneous. The Grace drawing you in might take a little while, but still instantaneous.

My thoughts exactly.
