Believe

I have seen that believe can be used with both in and on perposition and sometimes it is used without any perposition, like I believe you.

Can anyone tell me when should we use each of the form

thanks very much

If I'm not mistaken, "believe on" is archaic. I think it's used in the King James bible. Generally we skip the preposition to say we believe something is true.
