Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
Faith comes from hearing God's word. Faith is having God's word for something, accepting that word, and doing what God says to do in the way God says to do it. Faith trusts God and His word.
Assumption comes from ones own reasoning. Assumption comes when there is a lack of knowledge or where there is no word in an area, so you use your own reasoning to fill in the blanks. Where the word does not say, or where you don't know what the word says, people assume things to be right or wrong. This is not faith. Assumptions trust ones own conclusions.

When someone comes to an assumption, it is information based on what they heard but never learned fully, but still use that little tiny bit of information to explain their beliefs of others' ideas about certain things, whereas faith in something is learned or forced into the mind at a young age.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is beliveing with out a doubt. Assuming is leaning towards a possiblity wrather than the ablsolute of somehting.

Faith is based on hope and expierence. Assumption is thinking something is true, but not always being supported with evidence.

If a boy and a girl are stranded on a desert island,I ASSUME they will have children,based on my KNOWLEDGE of the natural order of things.
I have faith that GOD will accept me into heaven when I die,based on how I FEEL toward him on a spiritual level.

the spiritual sense of faith is the evidence of things unseen. assumption is just a guess based on nothing.

When you make an assumption, you might actually try to confirm it.
