Q&A: Hebrews 11:1 is a description of faith in action, not a definition of faith

There’s a literal “Manual for Creating ATHEISTS” 00:47:10 – 00:48:12

Question from "search for truth" about Hebrews 11:1

Mike answers that Hebrews 11:1 is a description of what faith looks like in a believer's life, not a definition of faith. The chapter then illustrates: "by faith Abraham offered Isaac," "by faith Noah built an ark" — these are actions demonstrating what they already believed, not the act of coming to believe. Mike recommends Amy Hall's Stand to Reason article on Hebrews 11:1 (linked in his video description).

Is Free Will “Another” Gospel?

What is the problem? It is common for Calvinists to argue that humanity can’t have free will because free will would necessitate a salvation based on works. Although the Bible does not make this claim, people have been subject to unfair accusations of heresy by overly zealous Calvinists.
