    I think it is easy to see faith (or a lack thereof) at work in the professing believer.

    How they treat one another - especially someone with whom they disagree - shows the spirit active in them. Either this is the Spirit of God or the spirit of this world.

    My point - faith leads to spiritual truth and spiritual maturity (not "facts" or worldly knowledge of godly topics).

    One of the BBN courses I took today talked about the evidences of faith and salvation.

    Faith is a strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

    Faith in the Bible is described as weak and strong. Some were said to have little faith and some said to have great faith.

    It is nice to hear from you.

    There are some good Calvinists and some bad Calvinists. The good ones will explain to you their reasoning to include how they interpret the text given its context. The bad ones just think Calvinism is the gospel itself can could not grasp a biblical concept if God tattooed it on their foreheads. They start with theory and go from there.

    Jon these are excellent points concerning faith that you have made.

    There are many scriptures that point to this:

    Galatians 3:11 The just shall live by faith
    Galatians 3:12 The law is not of faith, but the man that does them shall live in them.

    Faith is something exhibited that others can see.
    Ephesians 1:15
    Colossians 1:4
    Colossians 2:5
    1 Thessalonians 1:3
    1 Thessalonians 3:5

    Philippians 1:27 Let your conversation be as it becomes the Gospel of Christ ... that you stand fast in one Spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel.
