Having faith in God is the absolute opposite of merely having faith in, or relying on, your own self.
God is the Creator.
We are the created.
We have free will.
Freedom to make choices.
We can choose to accept the sacrifice of The Lord Jesus Christ, on Calvary's Tree, to atone for and remit our sins and become born-again with the life and nature of God imparted into our spirits and become sons and daughters of God, looking for His soon Return.
Or we can look elsewhere, stubbornly seeking our own path and and our own way.
There are not many paths to God.
There is only One way - and only One Name under Heaven that is given by which men may be saved.
His Name is Jesus Christ.

The terms, “spirit of man” and “heart of man,” are used interchangeably throughout the Bible.

According to dictionaries the term arose as a technical term to describe the Christian concept of the Trinity and they list no examples of it being used outside of that. I have seen preachers use it to state that they are triune beings like God. It's a term with bad connotations. Their comparison is meaningless too since God is not spirit, soul, body.
True, I was assuming you had faith and a 'PMA' at the same time.. if your on these forums!
