While Presbyterians recognize the significance of the personal conversion, often referred to as "getting saved," or being "born again," that experience is neither required nor widely encouraged. Presbyterian theology places more emphasis on the covenantal promises of salvation which, in the examples provided in the Scripture, do not necessarily require emotional conversion. While some dramatic conversion experiences such as the conversion of the Apostle Paul are certainly recorded in Scripture, in other instances salvation is given to entire families and households.
