Jesus says that unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. True conversion is not a decision card or a raised hand but a comprehensive turning of the whole life to Christ. But what does genuine conversion look like, and how can the church recover a biblical vision of it? This week, the profs trace the history of conversion theology, expose the errors of decisionism and false conversion, and call pastors to preach and disciple with the full weight of what it means to truly know Christ.
