Joel 3:14 KJV
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
I have used this passage to appeal to souls to make a decision to come to Jesus Christ. And I believe it is fine to make that appeal. However the context is quite different.
Rather than speaking of this age it is in reference to the end of the Tribulation when Jesus will sit on his throne and judge the Tribulation survivors in the valley of Jehosaphat. and
Rather than the individual making the decision, it is the Lord who is doing so, among the believers and the unbelievers.
The appeal here is that we ought to flee to Christ before this day takes place and we cannot say for sure when that will be. Should Christ rapture the church age believers today then tomorrow will be too late for many.
Today-now is the time of salvation. Accept his offer today.
