In the book of Acts there are
eight major examples of conver-
sion. In the second chapter of
Acts the apostle Peter preached
the first full sermon of the Chris-
tian era and the multitude of
people that heard him were prick-
ed in their hearts after he had
said, “Let all the house of Israel
therefore know assuredly, that
God hath made him both Lord
and Christ, this Jesus whom ye
crucified.” They were touched so
that they said, “Brethren, what
shall we do?” Having heard the
gospel preached and having be-
lieved in Christ as the divine Son
of God, for that was the theme
of the sermon, they said, “What
shall we do?” They made known
their faith in asking that ques-
tion. The answer was, “Repent
ye, and be baptized, every one her 3rd.
of you in the name of Jesus
Christ unto the remission of your
sins” (Acts 2:36-38). These peo-.
pie were converted. They believed
something that they had not
formerly believed, and out of that
new belief they changed their
lives radically.
Whereas before they had been
Jews in their worship now they
became Christians whereas be-
fore the temple had been the cen-
ter of their worship, now central
in their thinking was the church;
whereas before there had been
the offering of animal sacrifices
and the keeping of the Passover,
now they engaged in Christian
worship and the eating of the
Lord’s supper. The old had given
way to the new. The Sabbath
day gave way to* the first day
of the week. Their lives were
changed; their destiny likewise
was changed because of their con-
