Do you believe if a person say something so much that it will eventually happen? I've heard this saying but I don't know if it's true or not.

c.c.,
It is true to an extent. If by saying something over and over a person finally believes it, then it becomes faith and scriptural. Often this is a means to believe something by rehearsing God’s promise or God’s Word.
It is only necessary to say something once with faith to see it happen. Whether it is the first time that we say it that we really believe or the 100th time. When it comes to prayer, sometimes persistence is the key, and in that case repetition is productive also.
Proverbs says that your words are like seeds.
From the fruit of his mouth a man's stomach is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:20-21
Clearly, we plant seeds with our mouths that we will harvest when the time is right.
God bless.

No, but I've heard from a lot of Christian Fundamentalists and it seems like they keep repeating the same things over and over. Perhaps, if they hear themselves say something again and again, they will eventually believe it, no matter how ridiculous it sounds to the rest of us.

Yes, it is possible, when more exactly, you wish something so deeply and strongly, your wish could go through.
I wished to know something which I can specify here, when I was a child, and I knew it 2 years ago. I am 44.
I wished to move to another country when I was in High School, I graduated in 1981. My wish comes through in 1999.
It takes time, but sometimes, it does happen.

No, that is a part of the "Name it and Claim it" movement. There is nothing in the bible that suggest that we have this power. That is a false movement and one should steer clear of it.
I could do a lot of things with that kind of power, but God is the only one that can speak things into existence.

No, I believe only God has the power to speak things into existence. To believe that we can speak things into existence is superstition.

It does happen but you have to be in agreement with what you are requesting. If a part of you is in conflict with your desire, you will actually receive the repressed desire (the unspoken one). And, you should be prepared for it to manifest in possibly unexpected ways.
My advice is to be very specific.
Oh...repetition is not required. It's the focused intent, not the half-assed persistence that gets you there.

yes certainly, both sides of the coin.
I believe its only God who can bring the invisible things into existence through applying our gift of faith. Read : Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
