3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Conversion
the turning of a sinner to God (Acts 15:3). In a general sense
the heathen are said to be "converted" when they abandon
heathenism and embrace the Christian faith; and in a more
special sense men are converted when, by the influence of divine
grace in their souls, their whole life is changed, old things
pass away, and all things become new (Acts 26:18). Thus we speak
of the conversion of the Philippian jailer (16:19-34), of Paul
(9:1-22), of the Ethiopian treasurer (8:26-40), of Cornelius
(10), of Lydia (16:13-15), and others. (See REGENERATION.)

5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
CONVERSION, in equity, The considering of one thing as changed into another;
for example, land will be considered as converted into money, and treated as
such by a court of equity, when the owner has contracted to sell his estate
in which case, if he die before the conveyance, his executors and not his
heirs will be entitled to the money. 2 Vern. 52; S., C. 3 Chan. R. 217; 1
B1. Rep. 129. On the other hand, money is converted into land in a variety
of ways as for example, when a man agrees to buy land, and dies before he
has received the conveyance, the money he was to pay for it will be
considered as converted into lands, and descend to the heir. 1 P. Wms. 176 2
Vern. 227 10 Pet. 563; Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.
