Really? Name it and claim teaching? What utter garbage in an attempt to disregard a sincere response.

Post-Pentecost scriptures? You've completely ignored Hebrews 5 (by reason of use) which proves that you must use your faith in order to bear/hear more of the Word; however, you might be more comfortable with the apostle James:

James 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?



It's not the disagreeing that I was in reference, it was that you were either ignoring the scriptures posted or you would simply wave your hand and reply nope, nope, nope.



Ah, you've stumbled onto an incredible mystery that many can say but don't fully understand. And it's not basic at all, it is the crux of the matter. Jesus, James, Paul, writer of Hebrews, Peter, et al, agree that if you want to grow your faith, increase your faith, or be able to bears the strong meat of the Word, you must do something with the Word that you've already heard.

Now, you've said over and again that no one has given you scripture, but I (as well as others) have given plenty. What do you say concerning Hebrews 5:12-14 and James 2:22?
James Chapter 2 is not talking about increasing faith, or growing faith... but how to keep your faith from being dead.... that works must accompany faith. No where in that entire chapter is it teaching on how to increase your faith. In Verse 22, the Greek word there for "faith made perfect" is that Abraham's faith was accomplished... not increased. So, in my study of James 2, has nothing to do with increasing or growing faith.

Hebrews 5 especially verses 12 - 14 has to do with being mature in Christ..., mature in your walk with God and the things of God... but says nothing about faith... or increasing your faith, or growing your faith...
