Do you believe the bible knows of a "head/heart dichotomy?" Can a person miss heaven by 12 inches (belief in the gospel in the head, but not in the heart)?. Why or why not? If there is a distinction, what is the definition of "heart?"

Most people take it for granted that there is such a distinction biblically, but Gordon Clark makes a compelling case in "Faith and Saving Faith."

I have my own opinions on the subject, but I would like to hear what others have to say. (Forgive me if this has already been discussed - I did a search and could come up with nothing)

Thanks

"To believe in the power of man in the work of regeneration is the great heresy of Rome, and from that error has come the ruin of the Church. Conversion proceeds from the grace of God alone, and the system which ascribes it partly to man and partly to God is worse than Pelagianism" (The Reformation in England (London, 1962), Vol. 1, p. 98)
