No, but was raised in Lutheran Church before ELCA became completely apostate. Received salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ at about 12-13 in a S Baptist church. Spent time in a number of different denominations. Attend a non-denominational Christian church now, basically Baptist in doctrine, but is going apostate . . . not many churches left. . .
It matters which Bible one uses.
The Bible program here is simple to use, powerful and free to download:

Q: Have you been biblically “born again” by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who is God?
Do you have biblical assurance that you will go to Heaven when you die? It is a simple decision and procedure.

Thanks for the link, and Yes to your question of conversion. See https://peacebyjesus.net \ The redeemed are those who come to God as sinners knowing their desperate need of salvation - not as souls saved by their works or religious heritage but as destitute of any means or merit whereby they may find salvation (Romans 3:9 - 5:1) - and with a humble and penitent heart (that wants a new life following Christ, the Divine Son of God http://peacebyjesus.net/deityofchrist.html) believe on the crucified and risen Lord Jesus who alone can save them on His account, by His sinless shed blood and righteousness. And who thus are baptized and follow Him (John 10:27-29; Acts 8:12; Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-10) - and effectually repent when they find that they failed to do so. (Psalms 32:5,6; 51:3; Hosea 5:15; 1 John 1:9) Such souls are of penitent, heart-purifying, regenerating effectual faith, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9) which is imputed for righteousness, (Romans 4:5) and is shown in baptism and following the Lord, (Acts 2:38-47; Jn. 10:27,28) and by which faith the believer is completely forgiven and "accepted in the Beloved" and positionally seated with Him in Heaven. Ephesians 1:6; 2:6; cf. Phil. 3:21) And wherever Scripture clearly speak of the next conscious reality for those who die in that effectual faith then it is with the Lord, at death or His return (whatever comes first), by the grace of God. (Lk. 23:43 [cf. 2Cor. 12:4; Rv. 2:7]; Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 [“we”]; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17) Which is in contrast to those who do not accordingly believe in the crucified and risen Lord Jesus, (Romans 10:9,10) including those who terminally fall from grace, impenitently departing from the faith, drawing back unto perdition, making Christ of no effect, to no profit. (Gal. 5:1-4; Heb. 3:12; 10:38)
