Faith can be measured. As small as a mustard seed, "surely I have not found so great Faith", According to your faith be it unto you.
Then how much faith is required?
There are times when Pastors question, "You know in your head, but do you believe in your heart?" Then I realise I'm being a hypocrite, I don't fully believe in some things. Do we have to believe using our head or heart?
Can anyone believe in something in the spiritual realm fully without a slightest bit of doubt?
Mark 9:24 - "Lord, I believe, help my unbelief!"
ReplyDeleteSo it is possible to believe and not believe at the same time... and so what happens when there's belief AND unbelief existing at the same time?
Mark 9:25 - (Jesus) rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
So Jesus is perfectly happy to help even with unbelief hanging around.

Yes, it is possible to believe without doubt, otherwise James (inspired by the Holy Spirit) would be impossible:
James 1:6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt.
Ignoring Mark 11:23 and Matthew 21:21 because it is pre-Cross and hence Jesus could be speaking about the Old Covenant system... Though it is unlikely. =)
