2 Corinthians 4:13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written,
“I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.
There is only One Faith
Ephesians 4:
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The Faith of the Son rests in His Father
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
If we believe in Christ, we have the faith of Christ
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Saving Faith is Living Faith of Christ
Luke 17:
5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree,
Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
More Faith, or Less Doubt?
Matthew 21:21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt,
you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain,
‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.
22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
Many times I have seen believers manipulate scripture with translational slight of hand and claim that Galatians 2:16 says “faith in Christ” rather than the faith of Christ. If you doubt, you will sink. If you do not doubt, you have all the faith needed to “walk as He walked”.
Matthew 14:
28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink
he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him,
“O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Jesus often addressed His Disciples as “ye of little faith”. He was not disparaging them, He was informing them, and us, that our measure of faith may seem small, it is more than enough, as one who has confidence in the One God and Father, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
