therefore, is always demonstrated, at whatever variable level (Mat 13:23, Mark
4:20), by the Christian (Eph 5:8-10) and is always shown by a Christian at the very
least by faith (Rom 1:17, 1 Tim 4:5) which is also a fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22).
Christian faith and Christian works are inseparable, where there is one there must
and inevitably will be the other (Jam: 2:26). Faith is the process by which humans
appropriate much of what God distributes (Mat 9:29, 1 Cor 12:11, Heb 11:1, 1
John 5:14). Faith is therefore its own mysterious work (Jam 2:26) and therefore a
Christian who has only his faith but no works discernible to man to boast of, and is
also committing many sins against the two great commandments, is still righteous
(Rom 4:5, 10:9-10). God is in control of a Christian’s level of faith in respect of
specific manifestations, gifts, wishes and prayers (Rom 12:3, 1 Cor 12:11). Faith
to be a Christian in the first place is absolute, supernatural, fixed, permanent by
default and given of God (Mat 11:27, John 6:44, 14:6). Faith is received through
the basic spirit (Hag 1:14). The faith of the basic spirit of a Christian is perfect as
the basic spirit of a Christian is perfect (1 John 3:9).

Fear of the wrong thing is by default appropriative (Job 3:25) and is caused by a
concentration upon one’s own cares and will apart from that of God’s and is
removed by casting the concern upon God (Psalm 55:22, 1 Pet 5:7, 1 John 4:18).
The level of faith-doubt-fear in a human is determined by the Holy Ghost in
interaction with the human (1 Cor 12:6-11). The final decision rests with God (1
Cor 12:6, 11) and faith will be distributed according to the Prime Principle (Rom
8:28,1 Cor 12:7) but this Prime Principle effect is influenced strongly by the
person in interaction with God (Mat 7:7, 9, Luke 11:9, 11). Clearly God wants the
Christian to have the maximum faith possible and they will have the maximum that
is compatible with the Prime Principle (Mat 21:22, Mark 11:23-24, John 14:13).
Faith, if constant, represents continual prayer (Acts 12:5-7, 12, Col 1:3, 1 Thes
5:17). Faith is a form of prayer (James 5:15). Faith being, an internal factor,
whether of the Holy Ghost inside the believer and/or the basic spirit of the person,
is therefore both a fruit and a gift of the Holy Ghost (Mat 9:21, 1 Cor 12:9, Gal
5:22).

Faith is an ever-present internal reality for the Christian and is therefore a fruit
which he then appropriates and receives, in order to have more faith for specific
acts (1 Cor 12:9, Gal 5:22).

A believer may or may not demonstrate the other manifestations of the Holy Ghost
(1 Cor 12:28-30) including, for example, speaking in tongues (1 Cor 12:30-31).
Additional, new, manifestations released in the believer represent a further
development of faith in that believer not a 'baptism', first giving or additional
