Christian conversion
Accepting Jesus Christ
Christian conversion is the process of adopting Christianity as one's faith, typically involving acceptance of Jesus Christ as savior.
The experience ranges from gradual spiritual awakening to sudden, dramatic transformation—a road to Damascus moment references Paul's biblical conversion.
Evangelical Christians often speak of being born again or saved, emphasizing a decisive turning point.
Conversion may involve baptism, confession of faith, or both, depending on denomination.
