There is no much to explain about the ‘belief in Jesus’ other than understanding certain verses mentioned in the bible:
As per the word in John 7:38, rivers of living water will flow from those who truly believe in Jesus. And in Mark 16:17-18; it says, these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues (meaning; speaking wisdom from the Lord, not necessarily the broken-speech or sounds unknown to the man); they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all (meaning; even if they have to indulge in dangerous or difficult situations, they will not get hurt, but will be delivered from all; or, no one can possibly put them into serious troubles which they cannot handle – and therefore, the representation of ‘drinking deadly poison’ is quite symbolic); they will place their hands on sick people and they will get well (especially those sick people and infants, who are not able to pray by themselves because of their loss-of-consciousness or fragile state-of-mind).
As per the bible, this strong belief which brews the spirit inside the bearer will naturally explode out by saying “Jesus is the Lord” – not essentially the compelled invitation of the preacher or teacher should make the believer saved thereafter! If anyone does or practices this ‘induced-confession’ to make someone shout “Jesus is Lord”; it is a mockery somewhat in the sight of the Lord.
Moreover, the true belief mentioned in the bible cannot be copied or endorsed by anyone; in fact, it is the gift from God to the chosen people, to believe in him at an appointed time. In fact, the Christian beliefs and principles are now corrupted by the adversary devil – making it hard to discern as they mimic the divinity of God always. Sadly, many are ignorant that the real faith and obedience to the word of God are in fact inevitable during the process of salvation. Therefore, understand that the faith together with the grace is a free gift – to learn the Christ more and more – and to live for him obediently till the end. Amen
