there is not such as thing as head/heart - but there is a difference between mental assent and saving faith.

One can know the gospel and mentally agree with it, but that is not the same as believing it to be true and therefore obeying it and trusting Christ.

Think of it this way, what you believe affects how you act. If you calim to believe something but don't behave like you believe it, then you really don't believe it! You may agree with a collection of facts, but you do not believe.

Example: in which scenario will you run faster?

A. A bear is chasing you through the woods.

B. You believe a bear is chasing you through the woods.

Either way, you will run just as fast, because what you believe influences how you behave.

When all souls are saved and all mourners comforted we may venture to discuss recondite theories, but not while graveyards are filling with those who know not God. -- CH Spurgeon

[b]The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Luke 18:27[/b]
