What then should we say when we are trying to lead someone to Christ? I think a better picture is simply what the New Testament uses as its normative word - πίστις/πιστεύω. The noun form (πίστις) can be translated 'faith,' 'belief,' or 'trust.' The verb can be translated 'I believe,' 'I have faith,' 'I trust.' In some contexts the object of belief is emphasized (namely, Christ); in other contexts, the kind of belief is emphasized (namely, a genuine trust, an embracing). Thus, πίστις has this twofold force of content and conviction. To be saved, one must have the right object of faith (content); and one must truly put his trust entirely in that object (conviction).

Paul:

Excellent question...when I send to the "help" address
(ccmag-help@welovegod.org) I get instructions for how to use the list
features that the list owner uses. I can only guess (trying to prove it
now) that as a subscriber, you'd get subscriber information, for example,
how to unsubscribe, reach the list owner, etc. If it proves different,
I'll let you know!
