Cultural Perspective Discussion

If we have analyzed a biblical definition of conversion, then what does American culture consider as a follower of Christ?  Does it involve good works, joining a church, or can being a good person suffice as a cultural definition of conversion?  Further, does culture even see a need for conversion? Is it even relevant in their eyes?
Prepare to discuss these questions in detail describing three scenarios from your own experience.
Support your work with scholarly academic resources, textbooks, or other sources provided.  Quoting or paraphrasing from any source in discussion posts requires APA format by including an in-text citation and listing the reference at the end of the post.
