“ a person can grow in faith by increasing the number of biblical propositions which he or she believes.” (Volume 19, Number 37, Page 4)
“Faith is the persuasion or conviction that something is true. In Acts 17:4 Luke tells us concerning Jews at the synagogue in Thessalonica, ‘And some of them were persuaded.’ Then in the next verse he reports, ‘But the Jews who were not persuaded … attacked the house of Jason …’ A few verses later Luke reports on the response of Jews at the synagogue in Berea: ‘Therefore many of them believed …’ (v 12). Clearly the persuasion of vv 4–5 is synonymous with the belief of v 12.” (Volume 19, Number 37, Page 3)
“Men do not go to hell because of their sins or their wicked works. They go to hell because their names are not found in the Book of Life. They do not have eternal life.” (Volume 19, Number 36, Page 38)
“The concept of faith doesn’t allow for degrees. Either one is persuaded or he is not. There can’t be degrees of persuasion.” (Volume 19, Number 37, Page 4)
“the need for the apostles to believe things which they have not yet come to believe.” (Volume 19, Number 37, Page 8)
