[Glossary] Faith, Conversion and Repentance

1. (Clark 1992, 2): "... but the first conscious human activity in this new life is faith. Faith, human activity as it is, is still a gift from God. This activity, or its first moments, may be called conversion. The previous state of mind is replaced by belief in the atoning death of Christ. The man consciously changes his mind -- for repentance is a change of mind -- and turns from his old thinking toward the Savior."
