What do you think he meant by “missing Him?”
I'm getting mixed up with the format here, even being confused as to to whom I am replying. I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to technology. I'll try.
Re. your first point: - "They didn't believe."?! You mean these guys went around preaching the gospel, healing people, etc. while not believing?!!
As for the nature of believing - I mean what it means to believe in a biblical context.
Re. Matt Dillahunty - All I perceive from him on the matter is that he believed in the truth of the gospel, earnestly repented and endeavo(u)red (don't know if you're American!) to serve Christ and aimed to "do his duty" as to 1 Peter 3:15 in giving a "good account" of the things of God.
I'm afraid I don't get what relevance Charles Templeton has to this issue. Did he subsequently lose his belief?

Good question! It seems if he were still a believer, he may be CLOSER to him than before. I don't know what relevance Templeton has to this discussion.
