If the "first resurrection" refers to Jesus', or to the believer's conversion ("passed from death to life")

Which one? Scripture refers to the believers conversion as spiritual birth, not resurrection. Do you think that they are the same? If so, I need to change my definition of resurrection.

"Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live." (John 5:25)

"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus," (Eph. 2:4-6)

Sounds like spiritual resurrection.
