Name
Verse
How they demonstrated faith
Blessings they received

He was translated so that he does not have to see death

Joseph
22
Told about the departing of the children of Israel
Commandments were fulfilled
The other three that I found were as follows:

Nephi
1 nephi
Followed his father in the wilderness, went to go get the plates, built a ship
He was blessed with understanding, and his life was spared.. and much more
Samuel the lamanite

Stood on a wall and declared the word of the lord
Was protected and saved from arrows.
The stripling warriors

Fought to protect their families
Their lives were spared
 



 In Hebrews 12:1-2 Paul encouraged saints to lay aside all their sins and run with patience the race that is set before us. In other words, we need to give up the sinful things in our life and move forward towards the Lords plan.

Faith is much different than a belief. A belief only requires your mind and heart to agree on a specific point. Faith requires action. Faith requires you to actually do something about it.
