I am concerned with your definitions people. Are you trying to say that Faith is the ability to work miracles? and that if you can't work a miracle you do not have enough faith? That is kind of cheap don't you think? Its like some kind of back door out of your belief system.
And it implies there are kinds and levels of faith, even the big J says faith comes in amounts. So what gives? None of you people have any faith so are you all going to hell? You don't even have any faith in what you believe, NONE of you right? or tell me how i am wrong because i see this as another conundrum by you people that stigmatizes your religion and makes the rest of us think you people are really stupid.

You can have faith in anyone and anything. But if you're talking about faith in God, faith means that you believe he is the Master of everything and you believe the Bible is what it says it is, and that God will send jesus back to this earth someday to rapture all Christians out of this world and into Heaven. those without faith will be left here and will most certainly spend an eternity in torment.

#1 - It's not about the amount of faith you necessarily have, but it's about what you place your trust in.
I can have a large amount of faith that a 1/2 inch of ice will hold me up over a lake, but I'll probably sink. I can have a little faith that 30 feet thick ice will hold me up, but I'll be more likely to be held up by that than the 1/2 inch.
It's about where your faith lies. Thus, most people when they say they have a lot of faith in God, usually somehow put the faith in themselves...with God kinda.

Religions are man-made.
Faith is belieiving the fullness of the Good News, Gospel of Jesus Christ. Fullness is every Words spoken by Jesus christ must be believed.
Do you give to everyone who asks ?
Do you love everyone, even those who hate you and want to kill you, and use you ?
Do you lust after noone or nothing ?
Do you put the kingdom of heaven above everything else ?
Would you die, for the Word of God ?
Would you LAY DOWN your life, for your friends ?
Would you not try to defend your life or the life of anyone else?
If you can answer yes to each and every question above then your faith is strong, for Jesus told us to do these things.
I do all these things, because of not my faith, but because I believe in his Words

Faith is not a competition. Its between me and God. I don't need to brag about it and throughout the Bible I'm told to be modest about my practices and beliefs. As far as others are concerned, there practices are their choice. All Christians do not fall under one category, we are all individuals.

None. You are never dedicated to do something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.

I had some yesterday, but I believe I misplaced it.
Enjoy your day
I am concerned with the international standardized size for faith. I hope you will not come with gallons, but with litres!

I have no faith so I don't get caught up in all that stuff. Keep it simple.

Faith is belief when you can't see. I think that we all agree that we have that.
