From a forum post:
It is difficult for me to discuss beliefs and judge them without first saying something about the special nature of saving faith.
Saving faith is neither reasoned belief nor genuine trust.
Belief and trust may have their foundation in saving faith, but they may not.
Saving faith is the gift of God and is born of God.
The evidence of saving faith is the persistent dual witness of the new personal spirit supported by the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Saving faith effectively affirms two truths that human reason finds impossible.
One. That a sinner once deserving of eternal punishment is now a child of God.
Two. That a Man rose from the dead.
The discourse of meta-nominal Christians about faith, trust and belief is most meaningful when these essential truths are clearly in view.
