Converting to Islam requires one to declare the shahādah, the Muslim profession of faith (“there is no god but God; Muhammad is the messenger of God”). One of the prettiest models offered was the five-passenger Club Coupe, or coupe-sedan. Latter Day Saints hold that one may be baptized after death through the vicarious act of a living individual, and holders of the Melchezidek Priesthood practice baptism for the dead as a missionary ritual. Membership into a Latter Day Saint church is granted only by baptism whether or not a person has been raised in the church. In sharing their faith with others, Baháʼís are cautioned to “obtain a hearing” – meaning to make sure the person they are proposing to teach is open to hearing what they have to say. Evangelization – sharing the Gospel message or “Good News” in deed and word, is an expectation of Christians. Because the churches of the Latter Day Saint movement operate under a lay priesthood, children raised in a Mormon family are usually baptized by a father or close male friend or family member who has achieved the office of priest, which is conferred upon worthy male members at least 16 years old in the LDS Church.

The last two tirthankaras are known historical figures: Parshvanatha (8th century BCE) and Mahavira (599 – 527 BCE). Baháʼís regard their own faith as the most recent (but not the last), and believe its teachings – which are centered around the principle of the oneness of humanity – are most suited to meeting the needs of a global community. Even a recent convert may be elected to serve on a local Spiritual Assembly – the guiding Baháʼí institution at the community level. Indeed, the number of unofficial competitors has grown in recent years, as has their influence. The printed media of Uzbekistan has a high number of publications, but is dominated by three: Khalq Sozi, its Russian edition Narodnoye Slovo, and another Russian-language publication, Pravda Vostoka. In addition, Latter Day Saint theology requires that baptism may only be performed with one who has been called and ordained by God with priesthood authority. Latter Day Saint churches do not recognize baptisms of other faiths as valid because they believe baptisms must be performed under the church’s unique authority. Thus, all who come into one of the Latter Day Saint faiths as converts are baptized, even if they have previously received baptism in another faith.

Much of the theology of Latter Day Saint baptism was established during the early Latter Day Saint movement founded by Joseph Smith, Jr. According to this theology, baptism must be by immersion, for the remission of sins (meaning that through baptism, past sins are forgiven), and occurs after one has shown faith and repentance. If there are any mistakes, or if any part of the person being baptized is not fully immersed, the baptism must be redone. We find different types of religion and the cultural imbalance according to their own religious activities and the ethical value that is being followed through hundred years ago irrespective of their thoughts whether they are on right path or the wrong one. Within Christianity conversion refers variously to three different phenomena: a person becoming Christian who was previously not Christian; a Christian moving from one Christian denomination to another; a particular spiritual development, sometimes called the “second conversion”, or “the conversion of the baptised”.

Conversion to Christianity is the religious conversion of a previously non-Christian person to some form of Christianity. Baptisms inside and outside the temples are usually done in a baptistry, although they can be performed in any body of water in which the person may be completely immersed. In addition to the baptizer, two members of the church witness the baptism to ensure that it is performed properly.

The state monitors daily operations of major monasteries, with facial-recognition cameras posted outside, and it reserves the right to disapprove an individual’s application to take up religious orders. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. The exact requirements vary between different churches and denominations. Since the Baháʼí Faith has no clergy, converts are encouraged to be active in all aspects of community life. Conversion to the Baháʼí Faith carries with it an explicit belief in the common foundation of all revealed religion, a commitment to the unity of mankind, and active service to the community at large, especially in areas that will foster unity and concord.
