A few more examples for consideration... From Acts, no less.
Hmmm, Believe, Believe, Believe... and I thought it was John that had cornered the market on Believe.
Believe - (Greek - pisteuo pist-yoo'-o - to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), i.e. credit; by implication, to entrust (especially one's spiritual well-being to Christ):--believe(-r), commit (to trust), put in trust with.)
The extended study will seek to determine exactly what it is that they believed. Was it a Lordship Salvation works gospel, or an Easy Believism "crossless" or "sinnerless" oversimplified non-gospel, or just what? Exactly?
Simon –
Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Ethiopian Eunuch –
Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Dionysius -
Acts 17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Crispus -
Acts 18:8 And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
