are these unanswered LIFE questions or unanswered spiritual/Kingdom guestions?

I was referring specifically to speaking in tongues.

I study a multitude of things. But mostly I try to sort out the Bible. I'm learning Hebrew, very slowly, and intend to learn Greek.

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.[Heb 11:6]

Seems like a decent method, for the most part.

This puzzles me. Without faith, well what is faith? Blind faith? Believing something that you have cause to believe? Believing something that's impossible? What?

Rewarder of them that diligently seek him? What kind of reward? And why do I want it?

That thought truly terrifies me.

Repentance? What does that really mean anyhow? And how is that going to take us further from a the scary aspects of a righteous God?

I know what repentance is, but I have never really been able to work out how that applies to real life. Are you referring to telling God "I'm sorry", or the gut wrenching sobs or the act of changing behavior? Or something else?
