The question wasn't "When are you saved?"
It was "When are you forgiven?"

From the poll......? A poll? I was reading my Bible.
Act 5:31 "Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Acts 2:38 "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission (forgiveness) of sins,

You're confused, PO. Remission is not forgiveness. Remission, or remittance, is an act. Remission/Remittance is absolving sin - removing it completely. It is something done, it's not something received - like forgiveness.

The Greek says that remission means deliverance and forgiveness. That's what I will believe. I have more confidence in that than a poll - ya know? (lol)
And the Bible says that you must do both - repent and be baptized to receive remission (deliverance and forgiveness) of sins.

Ok, show me scripture where it's written that forgiveness only occurs after salvation.

Then YOUR answer to the poll would be - forgiveness occurs at baptism.
You can vote now.

I don't see baptism listed here. I show repentance = forgiveness. To say otherwise is a stretch.

Obviously we'll disagree on this. I don't see it as first this, then this, then this. I've seen people get the HG without first being baptized. That really throws your steps off!
