Not only will I answer them, I will give you the Scripture I think supports what I say, or I will admit I don't know.
As you say you don't answer question because you probably missed them I will re-ask this question of you now for the third time.

So you too are an "easy believer." Interesting. No wonder you refuse to answer questions and persist in ignoring answers to your puerile repetitive questions.
There is no such think as "easy believism." No one can exhibit agape love, unless thy have already been saved by God's grace, not by love. God's grace is based on His agape love, not ours. Man is not capable of agape love.

Faith leads to works. It is as simple as that. It gives gives birth to desire to work.

Is it easy? Jesus said "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light". His followers agreed, even though many would see their yoke anything but light. Any burden is light when you are happy to carry it.
Right.

He also said, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one whom He has sent--Jn 6:29

well, He also said even satan believes, so avoiding identifying who cried "Lord, Lord" because you are scared, or trying to teach when you do not know, becomes the more apparent the more you say, with all due respect.

Could you please answer all the questions below. The first post you were asking me to answer a question that you had not asked at that time. Hope you keep your half of the deal.

Yes, the first work is to get fundamentalists especially to believe Jesus and not your belief systems. Why ? because he taught the way and the reality of God.

Yet you refuse to say what the difference is between a living faith and a dead faith or what it takes to turn an intellectual assessment or belief into a living faith.

Why is that?
Living faith is the faith God give us---Rom 12:3 The faith God gives us is a gift(Eph 2:8). It is not something we must get ourselves so we can believe in God. Love without faith is a dead a faith without works

Dead faith is faith in someone other than Jesus.

We have always had faith, unfortunately being alienated "in our minds" from God, we put it in the wrong things.
Men were living by faith before the fundies nailed Jesus Christ to a cross by the hands of wicked men. Read Hebrews 11 and tell me how and when did they receive their faith.

Impossible to be dogmatic. Here is my opinion. There are 2 possibilities.

First, the continue to live but died again. Now I know it is appointed for man to die once, then comes the judgment. However, there are 2 examples of a man not dying at all because God intervened. I believe God intervened and let them die twice.

Second, their mortal bodies were transformed from perishable to imperishable(I Cor 15:53) by the intervention of God and their spirit returned to God who gave it(Eccl 12:7).

Fundy-liberal is an oxy-moron.

"Easy believism" is a term invented by legalist who reject salvation by grace alone, which was instituted way back in Abrahams time.
