How does conversion relate to being born again?

Answered in 1 source

Conversion is the process of turning from false beliefs to saving faith in Christ, distinct from the initial act of being born again.

Conversion and being born again are distinct phases of the salvation experience. Being born again pertains to receiving spiritual life, a work done solely by the Holy Spirit according to God's timing and purpose. In contrast, conversion involves a change of mind—turning away from self-righteousness and false hopes towards faith in Christ's sufficiency for salvation. It is a gradual process through which an individual comes to understand their need for Christ and embraces the truth of the gospel. This ongoing conversion reflects a lifelong journey of growth in grace and knowledge, facilitating a deeper relationship with God and understanding of His Word.
