Belief comes first, it is the seed planted in the soil (us) fed by hearing the word of God, that produces faith which is manifested in actions. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4508956 I will tell you again. Believing in God is the same as faith in God. There is no distinction. You are adding your own extra stuff and complicating it. THe gospel is simple for even children to understand. It does not require all this semantical gerrymandering you are doing. Does the phrase 'o ye of little faith' actually mean 'little belief'? NOPE Luk 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh,
shall he find faith on the earth?... There are people who believe God and Jesus exist - but yet do not have strong Faith in the 'Promises'. Thread: Faith is Trust. Do you Trust Father God and His Son? - Bible Study ... Go look at the Greek, believe is the verb and faith is the noun. You are taking English cultural connotations and reading them into the Bible that was not written in English. Believing God's existence is not the same as believing in God. THe latter is the same as faith. The Bible already makes this distinction where needed. You did not read through the thread before replying, for I already noted this distinction. THe Bible says "believe in" when saying as a verb and "faith" when as a noun, without confusing "believe in" and "believe the existence."
