True and False Conversion Part 1

Professing Christians today seem to give little thought to what they are associating themselves with. This embrace of the world by Christians could be indicative of false conversion on a broad scale.

What Conversion is NOT

1. Conversion is Not belonging to an institution known as your local church.
The local church is NOT the body of Christ. There may be Christians in your local church but the Body of Christ is not an institution.

2. Conversion is Not Baptism
Baptism does not save you nor is it a part of salvation. It is subsequent to salvation.

3. Conversion is Not Behavioral Modification
If conversion was simply a matter of changing my behavior then Christ died in vain.

4. Conversion is Not tithing
I Cor. 13:3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

5. Conversion is not mere confession
You say you believe in God. So does the devil and the devil trembles.
