If you have a personal relationship with Him, and commune with Him, He will be in your life and you will know and believe in Him.

All of the Apostles except John were martyred because they believed in the risen Christ, whom they HAD seen, along with 500 others. For the first 300 years of the faith Christians were tortured and killed for their beliefs. Today Christians are tortured and killed in Moslem and communist countries for the crime of believing in Jesus Christ. How can we believe, you ask? We've found a Way.

If you're going to base your eternal life on the actions of 1 out of 12 disciples, may I suggest that you start buying asbestos stock and sunblock SPF 4 trillion! We believe in God by faith in his Word! By the Blood of the Lamb Jesus, who was slain for our salvation, and has risen for our victory against the enemy! HE IS WHO HE IS! THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!

Thomas did not believe UNTIL he saw him risen. John 20:24-31.
You forgot Judas, but he was dead.

I seriously question what the other 11 disciples believed as well.
