Kinds Of Faith Flashcards
Common Faith
Called mutual faith. Common to all who claim to be Christians. Common because of the commonly accepted truths by all Christians
Such as belief in Christ as Savior
Common Faith
Titus 1:4
“To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.”
Common faith
The uncommon kind is that rare faith in apostolic power and in the fullness of God in the lives of all Christians.
Weak faith
Kind of faith that constantly limits personal benefits and privileges in the Gospel
Weak faith
Ex: what one may not eat, drink, wear or do in life and still be a Christian
Rather than righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost
Romans 14:17
Weak faith: Romans 14:23
He that doubters is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not faith is sin
Unwavering Faith
James 1:5-8
If any of you lack wisdom
Unwavering Faith
All men are definitely assured of getting from God his promises
Romans 4:12, 23-25
Walk in the steps of that faith of our Abraham
Little faith
The same as no faith because it is the wavering kind.
Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”
James 1:5-8 if any of you lack wisdom…
Temporary faith
The kind of faith that believes for a while and springs up like a mushroom. The lack of root fails in the time of temptation and test.
Mental faith
Similar to historical faith. Believes in history but goes further and believes every part of the Bible as well as truths of the blessings of God
Mental faith
Does not accept the Word of God. Passive faith or mere mental assent to truth
Mental faith
True faith is not mental assent to truth. Men will believe that God is able and that He has promised to do certain things if true faith were exercised.
Mental assent to truth without active faith in it.
Mental faith
Passive faith. One of the most dangerous enemies of true faith in God. Claims all the faith in the world and is satisfied with either anything or nothing from God. If it does not get what it wants, it does not care.
Mental faith
May go as far as maintaining belief in every truth in every part of Gods program and it may even claim to be contending for the benefits, yet it dares not act upon the promises of God.
