Because the '-ing' endingis what is known as a gerund - it generally denotes an on-going process - "he is running", where it functions as a noun. In the belief situation it is a current status - "I believe you" is best.

No, in that case, "believing" and "running" is still a verb. If the sentence was "My believing in you is unreal" or "My running shouldn't be the cause of your sadness," then "believing" and "running" are considered to be gerunds.
