"FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD!" James 2:17
We can *believe* all we want, but we need to remember that the Bible says:
"...even the demons believe -- and shudder, or tremble." James 2:19
The real test is not in whether or not we believe, but what we do with our belief!
We are called to ACT upon our beliefs.
The true test or question becomes will be be merely hearers only, OR will we ACT UPON WHAT WE SAY WE BELIEVE, thereby showing, proving and living what we say we believe?
James 1:22
But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
Matthew 7:24
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Luke 6:4-47
"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.
Romans 2:13
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous.
Regardless of what mainstream preachers and teachers say, YHWH GOD ABSOLUTELY DOES CARE ABOUT OUR BEHAVIOR. Our actions, obedience and faith-in-action is VITALLY IMPORTANT to Yah!
