What's a believer, anyhow ?

Just someone saying they believe isn't really helpful, is it ??

Best to watch and see how they behave. Observing all 600+ Levitican laws, handling asps, performing abortions with bitter herbs, swilling poison, maintaining the sanctity of their first marriages and not recognizing subsequent marriages fro their fellow pew warmers, manifesting a healing gift via laying on of the hands, etc. would go a long way in convincing me I was dealing with an actual believer.

Anybody want to step up to the plate and witness now ???
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
