This refers to some experience which causes a person to fundamentally change their relgious beliefs. Perhaps it is an experience which the person interprets as a form of divine intervention. A miraculous recovery from a disease, for example.
Saul's conversion was important because he transformed from a persecutor of Christians to one of the most influential figures in the early Christian church, known as Paul the Apostle. His conversion experience on the road to Damascus played a crucial role in spreading Christianity beyond its Jewish roots to a wider audience, helping to shape the development of the religion. Additionally, Paul's teachings and writings became foundational to Christian theology and the New Testament.
I am not sure what you mean by "Paul's experience." Do you refer to the day he was traveling to Damascus, Syria? On that day he was struck down by a light from heaven and blinded. A voice from heaven told him to stop persecuting God. He had been persecuting Christians at the time.
In the context of religion, "convert" refers to someone who adopts a new religious belief or faith different from their previous one. This often involves a process of personal reflection, study, and conversion to the new religion's teachings and practices. Conversion can be a significant and life-changing experience for an individual.

For the Puritans, conversion meant the experience of a profound spiritual transformation in which an individual's heart and mind were turned towards God. It involved a deep sense of conviction of sin, repentance, and a personal encounter with God's grace leading to a new life of faith and obedience.

Acts of the Apostles is quite clear that Paul's conversion was in fact quite sudden, resulting from a miraculous experience, in which he was blinded.Paul's own epistles never mention the blinding light of Acts and suggest that his conversion came about via a developing realisation that God "was pleased to reveal his Son in (or by means of) me." Had this passage said that God "was pleased to reveal his Son to me," there would still be a case for a dramatic conversion experience, but Burton L. Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says that the Greek words translate as the former, indicating a gradual realisation by Paul of his mission.
Your question is not clear. What kind of conversion? Many saints experienced some form of conversion during their lives. A few in particular are St. Paul, St. Augustine and St. Francis of Assisi. Each experienced a different type of conversion.
