Belief is different than faith. Even the demons believe, and it doesn’t help them a whole lot. Pastor Foley says that faith is a whole life orientation toward belief in Christ. This is why it is impossible to have faith that doesn’t turn your life upside down. Unlike the early Gnostics, who taught that belief is the means of salvation, the Bible teaches that we are not saved by belief but by grace through faith.
