Real Christian Conversion - Introduction

What is true Christian conversion? Let's get the Bible definition. In Romans 8:6-9 you will read:

"For to be carnally minded in death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is  enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Bu you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.  Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His."

     A christian, then, is one who has received, and in whose mind dwells, the Holly Spirit. Otherwise he is not Crist's - not a Christian.

     A truly converted person has received (and currently has) God's Holy Spirit dwelling within him. But, there is yet quite a bite more to under-standing what constitutes real conversion.
