When I see it and can verify the change over several years.
I’m a Christian, so I certainly do in terms of “new birth”.
But, I also think that in other areas of life like politics that we try to win people over.
But, sometimes a political conversion is change over time, realization over time, and not like Christian conversion. (Although the new birth while instantaneous is also a matter of growth over time.)
I just think that conversion is a real thing. I’ve seen it with alcoholics and drug users. I’ve seen it in the political realm. Most addicts who succeed that I know have gone cold turkey. Other things are less dramatic and involve time and growth.
Just thought I’d share with you. Hope you have a great day.
