>> We sometimes use the word "steadfastness". I guess the meaning is, in a way, related to the second meaning you expounded. (I think the idea of "steadfastness" is, roughly speaking, that you don't renounce from your belief as soon as problems appear.)
Hilmar- exactly. We can't doubt our faith each time we are faced with opposition. This is not because we are stubborn and obstinate people, it is because we believe our faith is based in spiritual truth.
However, there are times when we might be challanged to adjust or modify what we believe. But we should only do so when we have been convinced that the new thought or concept is the real truth and exposes what I had been believing as a lie or deception.
