We distinguish as: repentance and reversal to God. Repentance and reversal to Christ, of those who already believe in God. Conversion to all-Gods will, of those who believe in Christ. Related to what we will examine further the way of salvation, it is necessary to differentiate even further and to make a difference between the following four types of reversals: reversal in the direction of God (1 Thes. 1: 9). Here is the preposition pros is used, which indicates the direction without the purpose therefore is well known. Reversal to the achievement of God (acts 14: 15; 15: 19, 26: 18, 20). The prefix epi (with accusative) is used here. The goal is better known. Reversal in the direction of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3: 16). As in N ° 1 is here pros. Reversal to the achievement of the Lord (acts 9: 35; 11: 21). As in N ° 2 is here epi is used. As for the conversion we find in Hand. 26: 20 the conversion on (epi) God and in Hand. 20: 21 the conversion to- (eis) God. Thats a conversion not only toward God, but one that has also achieved its objective (1). Of the faithful Israelites is in 1 Peter 2: 25 said that they had turned to the Shepherd (epi) Vice versa. It goes without saying that the faithful do not necessarily need to see clear in all those shades and fully aware to the conversion or reversal he has come. All this goes naturally in practice. If one about things is going to think, however, it is very important to distinguish because Scripture does that as well. Repentance is tied very closely to faith. Reversing must be the result of faith and repentance.
