Belief in action. Belief describes a fact which Perceiver thought knows to be accurate. Faith combines Perceiver knowing in facts with Server knowing in actions.

trust or confidence in the reliability of a person or thing (including one’s a beliefs). A significant distinction exists between the sincere ‘faith’ one might hold in one’s naturalistic, mechanistic philosophy, for example (on one hand), and the object of the historical, biblical Christian ‘faith’ (on the other hand). The former amounts to entrusting one’s life and hope to one’s chosen belief system, while the latter is entrusting one’s self to the person of the Living God, whose character and history have been revealed, in part, through the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, as confirmed by the Spirit of God Himself—personally—to the person who willingly submits to His will. A portrayal of these as merely “different belief systems” wholly ignores the essence of the Christian faith: It is not one more belief system among many options, but is instead a reconciled, experiential relationship with the one personal Being from whom all creation both derives its origin and anticipates its destiny. Any alternative, no matter what form or name it may take, is ultimately a dead religious/philosophical belief system.
The gift of Faith is the special ability God gives to certain members of the body of Christ to discern with extraordinary confidence the will & purpose of God. (see 1 Corinthians 12:9, Acts 11:22-24, Acts 27:21-25, Heb. 11, Romans 4:18-21)

when a person is sure something is true or right. If a person is not completely sure, this is weak faith. If a person says they are sure but they are not, this is false faith.

God's plan is for people to grow from weak faith to strong faith, from false faith to real faith, from misplaced faith to solid faith. (DTC)
