Let me know in the comments below how YOU define faith.įaith in God can co-exist in someone’s heart along with faith in self, depending on which god we’re referencing when we think about faith.įaith in God, when it comes to Jesus, cannot co-exist with faith in self.Ībiding in Jesus and walking in your own power are two conflicting concepts. I hope this content helps you answer for yourself the question “What Is Faith Definition?” I made many YouTube videos inviting others to try an underwater handstand, which I can hold now for 75 seconds. One of my spiritual gifts is encouraging people to practice faith and fitness. The Bible teaches us that all Christians have different spiritual gifts. This point of view on faith is untruthful and leads to prejudice that has no Biblical foundation.
They believe only they are chosen and privileged, loved by God and go to heaven. They discriminate against those Christians who do not speak in tongues.
They think that if you don’t speak in tongues, you don’t know God. I met such people personally and spent some time with them. There are also people who call themselves Extreme Christians and insist that only those who speak in tongues are true followers of Christ. This point of view is dangerous and leads to violence and monarchy. They demand submission to their rules and discriminate against anyone who is not like them. Their aim is to eradicate inequality in the world, while they themselves treat others as not equal human beings. There are also people who call themselves Radical Christians and they are against pretty much everything and everyone. This point of view leads to much confusion and complete anarchy. They are accepting anything and everything as the truth, which leads them to believe that there’s no right or wrong and everything is exactly how it should be in life. Faith to them is faith in God, and God is whoever you personally imagine. They believe that there are no differences whatsoever among any worldviews. Many people call themselves Metaphysical Christians and believe in all things.
In this video, I share how my identity transformed from a mail-ordered bride to a child of God: I was the creator of my own self, life, and future. Metaphysical perspective on life means that I trusted in myself, leaned on myself, and worshipped myself. Metaphysical means that I believed in myself as a powerful being, a source of all wisdom, knowledge, potential, and strength. Hopefully, you can understand that God was someone to make fun of and He was never real.Īs I was growing up, my favorite author was Louise Hay, the book I read daily was “You Can Heal Yourself,” and my perspective on life was metaphysical.
Churches were movie theaters as I was growing up there. I was born in Soviet Russia in 1983 and grew up during the crush of USRR and anarchy. I come from a background of not knowing God. “Figuring out your own understanding of what faith is will help ensure your mental health and spiritual wellbeing.” (tweet this) Anna Szabo In my 30s I realized that differentiating clearly between faith in general, faith in myself, and faith in God is key to mental clarity and focus. I encourage you to understand clearly what YOU think about faith and faithfulness. Why is it important to define your own point of view about faith? If you don’t take the time to figure out what YOU think, you may end up living out someone else’s point of view.
