By conversions you dont get God, nor you can be sure about the purpose of your existence. By saying that you converted from this religion to that , you are unnecessarily denouncing other religions.
God is alike for every body and for every religion and if not we actually don't need him, since in that case he is biased.
I am sure about the purpose of my existence, without worrying for the religion that I am practicing. I am only hoping that one day a true saint will come to help me so that I can achieve what I call is the purpose for which I am in this world in human body form.

Converting from Hinduism to Christianity or back to Hinduism from Christianity or Islam to Hinduism or vice versa etc... doesn't
necessarily change the purpose of life.
Life symptoms or spirit soul, atma is eternal and it is not affected just by a temporary change of any sectarian ism. The eternal religious principles based on the univeral Vedas(knowledge) remain the same forever eternally.
The very word, Sanatana means that which has no beginning or end and therefore, Sanatana Dharma is by definition is eternal religion. It is based on the Vedas, which literally means knowledge. Veda also called as Sruti(that which is heard) is coming down since time immemorial through the chain of disciplic succession from guru to disciple. Vedas or Sruti were handed down through aural reception and the same thing was written down around 5000 years back.
With the teachings of God to Abraham and Moses, Judaism began around 4,500 years back. Buddhism began with the birth of Lord Buddha around 2500 years ago. With the birth of Jesus Christ around 2000 years,Christianity began. With the birth of Prophet Mohammed(pbuh) around 1300 years back the Holy Al' Quran came in to existence.
Introduction to Bhagavad-gita-As-It-Is, by A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness).
Yet man professes to belong to a particular type of faith with reference to particular time and circumstance and thus claims to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or any other sect. Such designations are non-sanatana-dharma. A Hindu may change his faith to become a Muslim, or a Muslim may change his faith to become a Hindu, or a Christian may change his faith and so on. But in all circumstances the change of religious faith does not effect the eternal occupation of rendering service to others. The Hindu, Muslim or Christian in all circumstances is servant of someone. Thus, to profess a particular type of sect is not to profess one’s sanatana-dharma. The rendering of service is sanatana-dharma.
Factually we are related to the Supreme Lord in service. The Supreme Lord is the supreme enjoyer, and we living entities are His servitors. We are created for His enjoyment, and if we participate in that eternal enjoyment with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, we become happy. We cannot become happy otherwise. It is not possible to be happy independently, just as no one part of the body can be happy without cooperating with the stomach. It is not possible for the living entity to be happy without rendering transcendental loving service unto the Supreme Lord.

I don't think I've ever talked to a Hindu convert to Christianity. That's interesting that you converted.
