THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BELIEF AND FAITH, THOUGH THEY SEEM RELATED.

CHRIST ROYAL AMBASSADORS:
WE ARE TO CONSTANTLY REMIND OURSELVES OF THE FACT THAT AS BELIEVERS AND FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST, IT TAKES MORE THAN BELIEF IN THE EXISTENCE OF GOD TO MAKE THE RAPTURE.
JAMES, 2:-19 “YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ONE GOD. YOU DO WELL. EVEN THE DEMONS BELIEVE – AND TREMBLE.”
WE MUST ADD OBEDIENCE TO OUR FAITH IN CHRIST BECAUSE THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BELIEF AND FAITH, THOUGH THEY SEEM RELATED.
BELIEF IS AN OPINION OR JUDGEMENT THAT SOMEONE IS CONVINCED OF, BASED ON INFORMATION THAT CAN CHANGE OVER TIME.
WHILE FAITH IS A TRUST AND COMMITMENT THAT RESULTS IN ACTION IT ENDURES EVEN WITHOUT PROOF.
CHRISTIANITY HAS BEEN DIVIDED INTO DENOMINATIONS OF MANY DOCTRINES NOT SUPPORTED BY THE SCRIPTURE.
ANCHORING ONE’S FAITH TO ANY OF THESE DENOMINATIONS AND THEIR DOCTRINES, MAKES SUCH INDIVIDUALS AN ENEMY TO THE CROSS.
THE BIBLE DEFINES DOCTRINE AS A BODY OF TEACHING THAT EXPLAINS THE MESSAGE OF THE GOSPEL AND CHRISTIAN FAITH.
THIS HAS BEEN MISTAKEN OR REPLACED WITH DENOMINATIONAL DOCTRINES. [PHILIPPIANS, 3:-17-21]
IN CONCLUSION: MOST OF THESE DOCTRINES WERE EXTRACTED FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT WHICH HAS BEEN DECLARED OBSOLETE. [HEBREWS, 8:-6-7]
HEBREWS, 10:-9 “THEN HE SAID, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD. “HE TAKES AWAY THE FIRST THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND.”
IF YOU ARE NOT RESTING YOUR FAITH ON “THE FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS,” THEN YOU HAVE NO FAITH IN THE LORD. YOU MERELY BELIEVE IN HIM.
AND THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TO MAKE THE RAPTURE.
