NEW TESTAMENT
CONVERSION
What is conversion? Conver¬
sion is not a convulsion! It does
not take place in a nightmare.
Webster defines the verb “con¬
vert” as “to turn, or to change ”
Now for a Bible definition: “Re¬
pent, therefore, and be convert¬
ed, that your sins may be blot¬
ted out ” (Acts 3:19). In supply¬
ing the words “turn again” for
“converted,” as they appear in
the Revised Version, we have the
expression, “Repent, therefore,
and turn again, that your sins
may be blotted out.” Hence,
conversion is a turning; a turn¬
ing from the service of sin to
the service of Christ-
Just what part of the sinner is
converted or changed? Unques¬
tionably every part that has
been alienated from God thru
sin- First, the sinner is away
from God as respecting his
heart (Jere- 17:9). The heart is
the workshop where all evil
thoughts and deeds originate
(Matt. 15:19). Hence the heart
of the sinner must be converted,
or changed. But how? By faith
(Acts 15:9, Romans 10:10). Thus
by a change of heart we mean
a change of affections .... a
change that destroys the love of
sin and establishes the love of
God in the heart of the sinner.
But a change of heart alone is
not the whole process of con¬
version
Second, the sinner is away
from God as respecting his life.
He is alienated by “wicked
works” (Col. 1:21). But how is
the sinner’s life converted, or
changed? By repentance (Acts

WHAT HAS VIRGIN/A GOT
THAT GE G/A HASN'T??
VIRGINIA HAS a tourist attraction in its
“Endless Caverns” and, in 1940, tourists paid
$305,250 to see them — Natural Bridge was
visited by 350,000 — Stratford. Hall, birth¬
place of Robert E. Lee, attracted more than
14,000 — and 950,807 toured the Shenandoah
National Park.
Conservatively, that’s more than $500,000
in admission fees for these four attractions
alone! The money made difficult by all of Virginia’s
tourist attractions is to estimate!
On top of this, it’s a known fact that
$97,000,000 (that’s ninety-seven million dol¬
lars!) went to Virginia hotels, restaurants,
retail stores, garages, etc.— in just one pre¬
war year!
GEORGIA HAS caves! Georgia has battle¬
fields! Georgia has beautiful scenery! Geor¬
gia has historic houses! There’s hardly % a
square yard in our state that doesn’t havfe
SOMETHING that would be attractive to
tourists.
But nearly all our Indian mounds are corn¬
fields — our caves are caving in — our historic
houses in most instances are not prepared
for visitors — our battlefields are unmarked.
Georgia’s tourist attractions are an un¬
worked gold mine. We predict that they will
soon be enriching our state with a new
income of millions of dollars a year. Virginia
has shown that it can easily be done.

3:19). Repentance is a change
of will (Matt. 21:28-29). But a
change of life is not the entire¬
ty of conversion-
Therefore, thirdly, the sinner
is away from God as respecting
his relationship to the world and
to God. He must be brought in¬
to a new relationship with God,
Christ and the Holy Spirit. This
ihange of state brings a man
into the kingdom of God (Col-
1:13). But what brings about
this change? (Read Galatians
3:27). The apostle here affirms
that baptism is that act which
puts one into Christ. The word
“into” is a preposition that de¬
notes action out of one state
into another . . . from the with¬
out to the within—after bap¬
tism he is in Christ- There are
no degrees in a state; one is ei¬
ther in or out of Christ, just as
he is either married or unmar¬
ried, or just as he is a citizen
or an alien. But this translation
by baptism is null and void with¬
out being preceded by the
change of life by repentance.
Hence, Peter said to the con¬
vinced believers on Pentecost,
who inquired “What shall we
do?”: “Repent and be baptized
every one of you." Acts 2:38)
But both the change of relation¬
ship by baptism and the change
of life by repentance are null
and void without a change of
heart by faith. (Heb. 11:6)-
Thus we can see that baptism is
the dividing line between the
world and the church of Jesus
Christ- Yet some would declare
that it is non-essential- The act
of baptism is initiatory; it in¬
ducts him who is turned or con¬
verted in heart and life, into the

Obviously, we have been able
see from this study that New
conversion involves a
of heart by faith; a
of life by repentance;
a change of state or rela¬
by baptism.
We have been asked to explain
“one baptism” mentioned in
4:5- We shall give
to this next week.

SOUND DOCTRINE,
P. O. Box 15, Trenton, Ga.
Virginia simply used her imagination —
her courage — her vision — and a lot of
good old-fashioned elbow-grease. She un¬
covered her historic sites, built access roads,
kept weeds down, preserved age-old homes—•
she got her tourist attractions ready for the
tourist! And the tourists came in droves.
What can you — your town — do to attract
this lucrative tourist business?
