I agree, Ferd. There may be an "aha" moment but that could very well be after a period of time.
Traditionally the date for the conversion/salvation of Saul of Tarsus was on January 25, AD 32 on the road outside of Damascus. At that time Jesus appeared to him personally and he called out to him, "Who art thou, Lord?" After the Lord told him who He was, Saul asked, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" But, when Jesus revealed Himself to him that day, He said, "It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks." We don't know how long Saul had been thinking and questioning and how long his conscience had been pricked. It could go back to when he saw Stephen martyred. It could be while he watched Christians respond to his persecution and arrests. It could go back to a time when he and other Pharisees pursued Jesus like a pack of hounds.
