1. What is the BIBLICAL Definition of Faith versus the POPULAR Definition of Faith?
Let’s break faith down into two parts: Knowledgeable Acceptance and Trust.
Knowledgeable Acceptance is BELIEVING that something is true. Trust is RELYING on belief that something is true.
The Biblical definition of faith not only applies to our SALVATION; it also applies to the rest of our Christian LIVES.
Biblical Faith Verses Popular Faith is the difference between MENTAL agreement and WHOLEHEARTED commitment.

3. What happens to people who have never heard about the ONE and TRUE God?
The problem is not that people have never heard about God, but that they’ve REJECTED what they’ve either heard or what is seen in nature.
Our focus as Christians should be more about making sure people HEAR the Gospel and that Jesus loves them, died for their sins and offers the gift of salvation and eternal life.
We should ask people to REPENT of their sins and receive the gift of a redeemed life through their Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
