This isn't a logical question, but I'll pretend it is. In a way, yes. When a person acts on a small amount of faith, that faith grows or diminishes based on the outcome of that first act of faith. This holds true no matter what the faith is placed in. If I have faith that my father will keep his promise and he comes through, I'll have more faith in his next promise. Likewise, if he fails me the first time, I will have less faith in the future. When I have faith that God will give me comfort and peace through times of trouble and I find that he does just that, that increases my faith in God for the future.

Not necessairly, faith is something you cant see or touch faith comes from within. Most of us live our lives not even realsiing we have it until something really tests us.
Having faith is easy but believing and being true to that faith is the hardest part. You don't need faith but it's funny how many people show it. many people rely on faith not that it's a bad thing it's always better to believe in something rather than nothing.
You have faith in your friends and in your family people who see day in day out why then is it hard for people to have faith in something you cant see or touch for fear you are wrong.
Faith is something that people have and don't have but it's when your really at your lowest you find it.
Faith is a good thing too but the fear of rejection put many off.
Faith is shown best in the people who have it who amy not even need it but those who need have it for a reason.

Excellent question. I would say yes. To have faith in something, requires you to have faith, I think. I probably should think about this a bit more to give a proper answer.

Faith is a gift from God. The work of the Holy Spirit.

Saving faith is a gift from God. All subsequent faith is built on that.

Presumably...
.... Though I've found that in all situations that require "faith", my alternative: Plegdib... works better.
And I have Plegdib that I don't need faith....
For that matter I have Plegdib that I have Plegdib.

The answer is ....no.
Faith is something cultivated, it develops.
What makes it grow?
Romans 10:17 says knowledge expands faith.
Knowledge should lead a person to appreciation and understanding.
A by-product will be greater faith.
Notice that the phrase is usually to "exercise" faith.
Like a muscle, it needs to be developed ....by taking in information.
So study the Bible.

Yes, of course.. ha.. ha... ha...
Edit :
On second thought, maybe not because faith can be cultivated.
Good luck.

No, that's impossible. You just need to be able to accept things without question.
