Faith is predicated on belief. You can't have one without the other. Belief implies faith, no matter how small the faith is. If you believe in something, you've got some faith in its veracity.

Huh. You learn something new every day. I thought there was a difference between the two words, but, I just looked it up and apparently there isn't. Actually, they seem to be very much entwined.
Belief: n. 1. conviction that certain things are true. 2. religious faith. 3. trust or confidence. 4. creed or doctrine. 5. an opinion; expectation; judgement.
Faith: n. 1. unquestioning belief, specif. in God, a religion, etc. 2. a particular religion. 3. complete trust or confidence. 4. loyalty.
So from the dictionary standpoint, they're very much intertwined, nearly identical. Although, judging from definition #2 of Faith, it could be that some people mean faith in that they believe in a specific faith, rather than having faith. But you don't appear to be asking about the difference between a person's faith and belief, just whether or not there's a difference betwen bible faith and bible belief, as in having faith and belief in the bible.

Ok, I'll bite. Bible belief would be the belief that the Bible is the true and inspired word of God. Bible faith, then, is the faith that comes when hearing this true word of God. This is the faith that leads one to salvation.

Belief, Believe, Believers
(A-1,Verb,4100,pisteuo)
"to believe," also "to be persuaded of," and hence, "to place confidence in, to trust TTT ," signifies, in this sense of the word, reliance upon, not mere credence. It is most frequent in the writings of the Apostle NTB John NTB , especially the Gospel NTB . He does not use the noun (see below). For the Lord NTB 's first use of the verb, see John NTB 1:50. Of the writers of the Gospels, Matthew NTB uses the verb ten times, Mark NTB ten, Luke NTB nine, John NTB ninety-nine. In Acts 5:14 the present participle of the verb is translated "believers." See COMMIT, INTRUST, TRUST TTT . (A-2,Verb,3982,peitho)
"to persuade," in the Middle and Passive Voices signifies "to suffer oneself to be persuaded," e.g., Luke NTB 16:31; Heb. 13:18; it is sometimes translated "believe" in the RV, but not in Acts 17:4, RV, "were persuaded," and Acts 27:11, "gave (more) heed;" in Acts 28:24, "believed."

In the Old days, people didn't have much knowledge of the
world, so they were taught with stories. Today, our Creator
had given us the knowledge of the Universe!
The Book itself says to not give heed to fables that turn from
truth. And for us to get away from elementary things, and get into the ADVANCED CLASS!
