How do we know that Saul of Tarsus was genuinely converted?

Answered in 1 source

Saul's genuine conversion is evidenced by his immediate transformation and his relentless preaching of Christ after receiving the Holy Spirit.

Saul of Tarsus' conversion is characterized by profound transformation and immediate action. Immediately after receiving the Holy Spirit, as recorded in Acts 9:18-20, he begins to preach Christ in the synagogues, proving He is the Son of God. This change in behavior illustrates a true conversion experience, where one who once persecuted believers now boldly declares the same Gospel he sought to destroy. Furthermore, the validation of his conversion by the church, particularly through Barnabas who vouches for him (Acts 9:27), highlights the authenticity of his change. His unwavering commitment to proclaim the Gospel until his death serves as further testimony to the genuineness of his faith.
