Faith = Greek, pistia, credence, conviction, truth, truthfulness of God, reliance upon Christ for salvation; assurance, belief, believe, faith.
Good faith is defined as "an act of the will informed by the intellect," and any kind of faith requires submission to something higher than yourself.
In the Bible the one word, faith, is the same word used in three different ways. The context of the verse determinds the defination.
Faith - pistia:
1. the act of believing
2. that which is to believed, i.e. the doctrine as a whole
3. the faithfulness or faith of Jesus Christ.
