NOW is the day of salvation 2 Corinthians 6:1-2

Paul before Felix Acts 24:25 – Felix…sent for Paul & heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 25 Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, & the judgment to come, Felix was afraid & answered, “Go away for now; when I have a convenient time I will call for you.”

Paul before Agrippa Acts 26:26-28 – For the king, before whom I also speak freely, knows these things; for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention, since this thing was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe.” 28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.”
