Faith Is Not Belief It Is Knowing Through Experience.

Faith means to know, belief means that you do not know!  Faith actually means truth,knowledge
from experience, something that we have confirmed through our experience that it is true, that
is what faith actually means.
Those who have true faith do not need to believe, this is because genuine faith is living knowledge
exact cognition and direct experience.
Faith is living knowledge, in reality faith is same as how we use the Greek word Gnosis ,it means
truth, knowledge  from experience, something we have confirmed through our experience that
it is true, that is what faith means.
Through our experiences  we learn, this is how we become convinced through experiences, not
through theories, not through beliefs, faith is drawn from experience.
If you just believe in God, or an infinite Being, then that is all you will ever have, a belief you will
 never KNOW, belief will not reveal the truth of divinity, only faith will and that is in Knowing
that it is so, through your own personal experience of that knowingness!
Belief implies uncertainty, (never knowing) faith is experiencing the reality that lies within us,
and thereby we "know that we Know" as it is vouchsafed within our hearts, our soul, and  our
whole being.
I do not believe in a Supreme  Being, the creator of this universe, I have faith that it is so because
I have experienced it, I know that I know, it is a living reality that dwells within me, and every
one else on this planet, it just that many have not yet woken up to this living reality.
We do not need to go and see anyone about this, we all have a master within us, turn to that
master within you, rather than seeking out another person who has an ego that masks its true face
we need not trust our innermost self to any other ego centred  being, who ever they may be, the
one who is within, the one who is closer than your hands and feet, the one who has been with you
since before you were ever born, that is the one to trust, turn within, practice meditation,  open
your mind, and then you will experience that divinity that is within you, then you will know, and
you will be faith-ful!!
warm regards Michael.
