From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Conversion
    the turning of a sinner to God (Acts 15:3). In a general sense
    the heathen are said to be "converted" when they abandon
    heathenism and embrace the Christian faith; and in a more
    special sense men are converted when, by the influence of divine
    grace in their souls, their whole life is changed, old things
    pass away, and all things become new (Acts 26:18). Thus we speak
    of the conversion of the Philippian jailer (16:19-34), of Paul
    (9:1-22), of the Ethiopian treasurer (8:26-40), of Cornelius
    (10), of Lydia (16:13-15), and others. (See REGENERATION.)
