A querist asks, “In the book of Acts, we see several accounts of conversion that are recorded. Some people think that ‘just getting wet’ [baptism] is all there is to conversion. In addition to baptism, can you please describe some other components in conversion?”From a study of the Scriptures, we know that conversion requires a change (Acts 2:37-38 ; Acts 3:19; cf. Luke 24:46-47). The very word “conversion” (Strongs No. 1995), carries with it the idea of “a turning from and a turning to” (cf. Vines — also note 1 Thessalonians 1:9). But a change of what? To what degree must we change?
