What are the five stages of spiritual growth on the path from the cross to the crown?

Believers progress from faith to faith through five stages of growth. First is the Babe, characterized by amen, a leaning faith. Second is the Adolescent, marked by batach, a wrestling faith. Third is the Mature, who exercises chasah, a confident faith. Fourth are the Heroes of Faith, who demonstrate yachal, a healing faith, by becoming responsible for others. Finally, the Friend of God reaches the highest achievement through qawah, an enduring faith. Each stage involves increasingly intense tests that can only be passed through faith.
