First and second turns DIFFICULTY / INDICATION / CUSTOM “TRADITIONAL” CHRISTIANITY
FIRST REVERSE
“I want to acknowledge God, to serve him, keep his commandments. This, the first turn, is a conscious decision. God is accepted as The lord of my life.” (Heinz Schurmann) “It simply came to my notice then
God – in nature, in discipline, through some meeting. I’ve been hit, and I want to serve him. Already I don’t want to sin hard. I feel it already I must not live as before, and I’m starting a new life. Alone
I decide because I knew God.” (Yves Congar)
SECOND REVERSE
“It simply came to our notice than the life of a Christian. I am a Christian, in fact, only when I accepted this conversion.” (Hans Buob) “The second turn is a decision to perfection; it is whole by surrender; is complete (Heinz Schurmann)
There is an ancient scheme describing (and also practicing) the path
man to Christianity: The essence of the second turn At the second
conversion, finally I fully accept new identity, position, relationships
and life the son (daughter) of God, brother (sister) of Christ and a member of God families.
At the first turn I decide “Practice” religion – that is adhere to commandments, to fulfill religious obligations not to act evil deeds, obey God’s will, to serve To God who is mine Mr. and “boss”.

GOOD TO SEE THIS IN THIS JESUS INTERVIEW:
FIRST CONVERSION: “Here a leading man asked him,” Good teacher, what should I do? that I may inherit eternal life? “19 Jesus said to him,” Why do you call me good? No one is good, only God. 20 Thou shalt know the commandments, Thou shalt not commit adultery. You won’t kill it! You won’t steal! You will not testify wrongly! Honor your father and mother !? “21 He said,” This I have kept all things out of my youth.” (Luke 18: 18-21)
SECOND CONVERSION: “When Jesus heard this, he said to him,” You still lack one thing. Sell everything, give what you have to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.
When he heard this, he was sad because he was wealthy. 24 And when Jesus saw that he was sorry, he said, “How difficult it is for those who have possessions to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the ear of the needle, as to the rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Luke 18: 22-25)
The essence of the second turn BY THEN…(more or less)
• I’m a human.
• My homeland and home is here, on earth.
• I live my life here.
• This is where my dreams, desires,
wishes, …
• My goal is to live this life as pleasant as possible.
• I hope God will help me in this and will bless my desires.
• When I die, it will be over of all this – I will leave and lose
all this – and that’s why I would like to live here on earth as long as possible and live to see old age in health and in peace and in fulfilled desires and so… I do not desire after death, it somewhat scares me!” Sell everything what do you have…”
