Unfortunately, many christian think that the spirit of a man is more important than the mind. But i would like to let you know, that your mind is as important as your spirit. For instance, you cannot be saved without your mind. John1:12says: but as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on his name: The place of believe is not the spirit ,but the mind. To believe is a product of conviction. What you are saying is , beased on these facts, Iagree in fact, believe can be defined as mental as*ent. That is, i concur. I agree.with these facts at my disposal, i now accept jesus as my personal lord and saviour that why we can safely say that your mind is the gateway of your life. Nothhng gets to you without frist passing throught your mind when the bible says,keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life(prov4:23), it is talking about paying absolute attention to your mind, because your mind determines your ultimate worth in LIFE.
