we can escort the good Mr. Rogers over to Hebrews 11 as well. Man's intellect can never believe in things unseen, saving faith is supernatural and must come from God. In fact that is the major tenet of the Christian faith unless he believes that Peter is the rock upon which the church is built.

Human belief, the type that arises from men, is not saving faith. Many "believed" in Christ and his miracles and walked away.

[Mr Rogers]

I didn’t say we reasoned our way to God, and in fact I have specifically rejected the idea that man can reach up to heaven and bring God down. But God in his grace HAS reached down, and how we respond to his grace is a choice he leaves with us. And those who believe him are born again, and made part of Christ, and in Christ receive everything.
