Maybe there isn't a difference.[/QUOTE]
I say ---OH! but there is ------
Jesus said ---in Matthew 7 ---No everyone who says Lord --Lord will enter the Kingdom Heaven ------these are who just call themselves Believers
I say -----Many SAY they Believe in
A God ------Many Say they Believe that Jesus is the Son of God ------but have not accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour in their hearts ------
So a believer can just believe in the person of God but have not acted upon that belief to receive God in their heart ------so they are not a True believer ------they are just mouthing words with no action ---which is dead Faith ------
A True Believer---doesn't just Believe--- they accept that belief and receive it in their hearts -----they are a New Creation in Christ by and through their Faith that produces ------Right -Faith always requires a positive response ------
