A
conversion is incomplete if it does not leave one integrated into the
Church. By this we do not mean any
particular part of the Church; what we do mean is that conversion must leave
one linked in loving fellowship with one's fellow believers. Conversion is not something simply between a
man and Jesus Christ, with no other person involved. True, it may start in that way; but it cannot
end in that way. Conversion is not individualistic. It is, in fact, just the opposite. It joins man to his fellow men, and certainly
does not separate him from them.
