A Common Misunderstanding.

When many people refer to 'their faith', they are actually referring to a mixture of faith and unbelief. (I have even heard Bishops make this error!)
If God is an opinion - then this is not faith. 'Faith' is actually a certainty.
'Lack of faith' has nothing to do with 'belief in God' in these circumstances but, is rather, about the outworking of faith.

For example, I know God exists from personal experience BUT do I have sufficient 'faith' to believe that 'He will move this particular mountain'?
We can refer to the former as 'saving faith'.

SHAME On The Mail For Failing To Know That Henry The Seventh Was Not The Same Person As Henry The 8th.
