False converts are more common than one might think. True conversion is an act of God upon the human heart. But what exactly are characteristics of a true conversion?

True salvation is not based on whimsical feelings but on two essential factors of salvation. Believers are less concerned with personal experiences and emotions, and instead yearn to know God Himself.
