Happens in an instant, although the conviction to actually receive Christ may take time. Many people here the gospel but are unsure and take time to finally respond to Jesus tapping on their heart.
But .. believing in Jesus.. getting indwelled by the Holy Spirit happens in an instant.
Romans 10:9-10 has the believing. John 5:24 has the giving of eternal life.
In Ephesians their is the seal of the Holy Spirit.
The believing, giving of eternal life and sealing happen at the same time.
'Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved'
Water baptism isn't part of this. That is a response to having been saved.. not the means of salvation.

Also the salvation in this verse isn't eternal salvation. It's deliverance from trials and tribulations. They are not the same kind of 'save'
Eternal salvation isn't the subject of 'he who endures the to the end will be saved'
The subject is deliverance during end times from trials and tribulations.

it’s about today brother you just believe and walk and hear from Jesus today following as best you can and your insufficiencies along the way is why he died but what I mean is “one day at a time walking in faith “
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
Matthew 6:33-34 KJV
as Christian’s if we live just for one day living as best we possibly can for Jesus and the gospel we can rest assured that our imperfections and short comings are the very reason a perfect and sinless man had to die in our place

You are saved the moment you believe. Acts 16. Eternally irrevocably Saved and Sanctified.
Though you will encounter from time to time the enemy and his slings and arrows. As he tries to convince you that isn't true.
He'll try to lead you to believe in your ego,pride,and selfish nature again. So to try and make you believe you are not actually secure in Christ. And one misstep condemns you again. So you have to labor in fear to help God save you.
Be aware,that is literally a damned lie by that damned liar that was from the beginning.
Once you are in Christ it is eternal. And nothing changes that. Of all the Father gives Christ, a Christ tells us, he will lose no one. 😊🕊️ So rest in the peace of that eternal fact. And ignore the falsehoods that strive to scare you.
Then,for the rest of your life you walk in the light of Christ. And like a child learning how to evolve, change, from crawling to walking, you gradually learn how to trust in the Lord. And discern his will from your own.
Sanctification
God Bless You.💞❤️🕊️🙏✝️

Contrary to what some have said water baptism IS a part of being saved according to the scriptures. Read the account of the Ethiopian eunuch's conversion in Acts 8. Didn't take long and wasn't complicated. He believed after being preached Jesus, he confessed his belief verbally, and was immediately baptized.
1. Belief and faith
2. Confession of your belief
3. Repentance
4. Water immersion (baptism) fir the remission of sins
Simple just as God intended

So who was Christ talking to? He was talking about a time coming and it was the 12 that asked "Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately." So we know at the start He told them don't rejoice that the demons are subject unto you but that your names (key word here) "are" written in heaven. We all from the day He found us have to endure but I don't do be saved that is not what He said. "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?” He was talking about a time that was coming. Context
Does make you wonder about all those God drew to Himself that were never baptized but are right now in paradise. If Gods words is true then anyone that just calls on His name shall be saved. I got baptized but it didn't save me. Not why I did it...theres reason
