Originally posted by 250: funny, I cannot question pre-life, because there is proof or disproof. to say that pre-life doesn't exist is as ignorance as accepting it wholely. I don't know man, it seems to me that choose "faith" is an easy way out. do correct me, man, I am confused

John 7:17" If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."

How about this.
This is the way I learned it.
Compare faith to a seed.
You have a tiny little seed, and you want it to sprout, to see if it is a good seed, or if it does not, it is bad. If the seed sprouts, you know it is good, and thus you have proven a small thing. If it does not grow, then that could mean that you did not nurture the seed, and give it a chance.
Ok...let's say that the seed has now sprouted, but it is a small, little thing. To continue to nurture, and take care of that seed will help you grow the sapling into an enormous tree.
To begin, you have to give the seed a place to grow in your heart.
Next, ask God if He is there. (that means prayer)
Now, the fruits of the Spirit will bring a feeling of love, peace, joy, etc.(Gal.5:22,23), but will not be a loud voice. You will not get a phone call and God say, Yo! I is here!
No...he will send the Comforter to you, and the undeniable feeling of the Spirit of Truth can leave you no doubt.
I can talk until my dying day, and none of my words would hold any ground until the Spirit testified the truth of it unto you. Without the Spirit, my words are nothing.
