1593:, all of you, this is incredibly helpful. I will copy paste this into my sandbox - with your permission - so that I don't forget or miss any of it. WP can be the most wonderful place can't it? Because of people like you. Thank you, for showing up, for caring about helping others, for being constructive and practical. Did anyone look at the former version? I tried to keep what I could but there just wasn't much, and I was unsure about throwing away someone else's work, but now I have help and that is too valuable for words. It almost makes me weep with gratitude. I will do all of this. I promise. I understand about RL. What's already here will take me a minute anyway...

complicated would benefit us. "And" is rather undefined and a little murky. "In" would artificially limit the focus of the article and create conflict with the section on 'denominational switching' which already says
Christian to Christian is not true conversion. This is apparently a more disputed definition than I realized. But Rambo's examples do not reflect what those men said about themselves.

could actually see there being two different articles -- one theological, one more demographic -- but that complicates matters further, and I think (hope?) that there'd be a neat way to cover both elements in one article!

Christianity'.)

that conversion stories are a big deal in the Bible itself (Saul/Paul being the obvious one) and conversion is very important to
Christianity generally, as it's a proselytising religion (unlike plenty of others). So my guess is that we could do with something about conversion in the early church and then the spread of Christianity over the subsequent millennia (missionaries etc. -- the word

More accurately, they moved from one form, then

The manner in which Luther and Wesley reported their own personal conversions took them from struggling with a kind of internal personal agnosticism to faith. In their view, they had been through an internal struggle with unbelief - in Luther's case, a long one - and that struggle produced a change -

This is not what the source says. In fact, it's kind of the opposite of what it says. Plus, it's in the lead and social science isn't covered in the article - and it should be.

That's interesting, as it speaks to the two different framings of this article -- the 'Sunday School' version and the 'scientific perspectives' version. The former is 'this is what conversion is all about for us

Ha ha, I initially thought your new section would be one on "relational evangelism", and would introduce a new level of unwanted controversy to this article. Good proposal, though. I'm not sure how to really expand that section myself, but I'm sure some of our better wiki communicators will expand

I started a section called Conversion through "Relationship". The name could definitely be changed, I was going to say "Faith" but that seems to imply there is no faith involved in the baptism version (although this implies it doesn't involve relationship which isn't right either). Either way, it

The idea they convey, in their own writings, is that one can participate in the external forms of Christianity and still not have experienced 'true conversion'. It's foundational to Reformation theology: going to church doesn't make you a Christian, only internal conversion does. This is where the

I still haven't read the article properly, but a quick thought occurs: the article now has a lot on the science of conversion (which is great) but it's perhaps light on 1) The history of conversion; and (relatedly) 2) Christian/theological/philosophical understandings of conversion. It strikes me
1200:
Yes, many protestant groups consider Baptism as an initial expression after conversion, not as a necessary part of the conversion itself. It's thought to be an "outward sign of an inward decision". They consider it important to the conversion process only in that one's desire to make the public

I have an issue with the phrase "Baptism's role in the biblical text was pivotal." It seems to violate NPOV or is atleast disputed by many Christians. From what I understand, Catholics and LDS require baptism, but I think more Protestant churches believe you can be a Christian and not have been

1348:
I have done my best to revise this article. I tried to use more relevant, well sourced, and neutral information that I can. I might still enact more edits to the article. It would be helpful if other editors could expand upon Protestant conversions and well as nontrinitarian conversions.
686:
I have a PhD in religious studies and religious conversion is one of my fortes. I will try to improve this page which, yes, needs a lot of work. For now I have added some material on conversion from Islam to Christianity. I will try to gradually improve the rest of it too.
826:
I shortened the believer's baptism section. In denominations that practice that, the baptism isn't seen as part of the conversion. A section needs to be added about conversion though, maybe something about the "sinner's prayer", although that isn't really very thorough.

Is there any way to have a caption show below an image besides having it formatted as a "thumb"? I think the image of Paul's conversion looks better ~275px, but the caption only shows with a mouseover at that size, and there's no links in the mouseover, obviously.
1989:
I can also see that adding the Middle Ages/monastery to denominational switching would be a good thing and add weight to switching as being conversion - noting the disagreement. Perhaps that would mean 'switching' should be moved under the new theology section as a

I guess I figured the inclusion of the Baptism talked meant "conversion" was more than "salvation" for some groups, but maybe they see baptism as part of salvation, I don't know. The part about coversion among denominations seems separate from salvation
1125:
I probably don't know enough about the subject to make a judgement call. Are there groups that consider gifts of the Holy Spirit part of conversion? I think some might consider it proof over coversion, if that is the case, it might deserve a mention.
963:
I was bold and made a change. I added salvation instead of relationship and moved it up. I got rid of the sections on infant and believer's baptism since the actual timing doesn't have anything to do with conversion from what i understand. Thoughts?
655:
I agree - I think this phrase in particular is biased: "In most denominations, infants are baptized before they can even know about Christianity. Other denominations, however, do not baptize infants forcing them to accept the faith for themselves."
1256:
Maybe, I would have prefered citations-needed (non-bible citations, though). It gives a vague impression that it maybe proves a point, but restructured and properly cited, the content should be OK as it is. Especially the third initial paragraph:
