So being saved from hell isnt something Jesus does, but something the sinner is taught to do ?
That depends on what Jesus decides to do. He can save you at any time, but if you refuse to repent of your sin, is he going to keep saving you?

False, did Paul ask to be saved or Jesus just saved him according to His own purpose ?
Okay, I didn’t know you were that deep into Calvinism. So a person doesn’t have to do anything at all and they are saved?
I don’t know anyone who had an experience like Paul

So it depends on you ? Correct
No. The Lord will come in and save you from the the consequences of your sin, but as time goes on, he expects you to learn from your mistakes, and if you don't, his discipline can be quite severe.

Pauls salvation served as an example of how Christ saves sinners 1 Tim 1:12-16

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

What you means no ?

You aid

. He can save you at any time, but if you refuse to repent of your sin, is he going to keep saving you?

So you have to hear Jesus speaking to you from heaven, be struck blind and then have someone pray for your sight and then you get saved?
Seems unlikely, but that’s how Paul did it. Is that what he meant by a pattern?
