What is the Basis of Faith?
831350
The basis of faith is truth. So a saving faith is the truth about salvation. Knowing and believing is faith not just one or the other but both. Just knowing about Jesus is not faith. Just believing your saved but not knowing is not faith. Knowing that Jesus died for your sins and that God has forgiven you and believing this is true for you is true faith.

None.  Everyone believes in a god.  For some it is the god of humanity for others it is the god of sports, for some it is the Divine Being in heaven.

The foundation of Christian religions is belief in Jesus. It is the single most important thing. If you remove that there isn't alot left.\n\nAnd the non-Christian  religions is a huge category that is hard if not impossible to cover in any real depth in this venue.

As I understand it, Paul taught justification by faith.  In the OT people were justified by faith in God (which manifested itself in obedience to God's law) and after Christ people are justified by faith in the blood of Christ (which empowers the believer to live in accordance to the spirit of the law).  Justification is taking someone unholy and permitting them the rights of being holy (communion with God).  God's grace does this.

Hebrews.11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."\n\nYou can't get a better definition than that. It means faith is real, its almost as if you can touch it (substance), yet it is not physical. It is based on hope which means it is in the future.\n\nIt is an evidence (proof) for what you have believed. \n\nFor example, you ask God for a child, you don't have the child yet, you are not even pregnant, you might not even have a womb or maybe your womb is damaged, but faith tells you you can have it(John.15:16), you can have it because God told you in His word you won't be barren (Exo.23:26, Isaiah.54:1-3), that he would heal you even if you were sick (Exo.15:26), that you will be fruitful (Gen.1:28). Believing so much in these words to the extent that if someone was to ask you where is the child you are believing God for? and you can present God's words to them as evidence that God will eventually answer you, that is faith.

Religion isn't based off of proof.\nIt's based off of faith.

This is the Christian faith.\nAny muslim can go to wikipedia and get all the information. I'm saving this answer so I can apply this to the next billion questions from muslims who keep asking the same thing over and over.\n\nMany Christians begin to learn about the Trinity through knowledge of Baptism. This is also a starting point for others in comprehending why the doctrine matters to so many Christians, even though the doctrine itself teaches that the being of God is beyond complete comprehension. The Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed are structured around profession of the Trinity, and are solemnly professed by converts to Christianity when they receive baptism, and in the Church's liturgy, particularly when celebrating the Eucharist. One or both of these creeds are often used as brief summations of Christian faith by mainstream denominations.\n\nOne God\nGod is one, and the Godhead a single being: The Hebrew Scriptures lift this one article of faith above others, and surround it with stern warnings against departure from this central issue of faith, and of faithfulness to the covenant God had made with them. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD" (Deuteronomy 6:4) (the Shema), "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7) and, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6). Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament. The same insistence is found in the New Testament: "...there is none other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4). The "other gods" warned against are therefore not gods at all, but substitutes for God, and so are, according to St. Paul, simply mythological or are demons.\n\nSo, in the trinitarian view, the common conception which thinks of the Father and Christ as two separate beings, is incorrect. The central, and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior, God, and one salvation, manifest in Jesus Christ, to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Old is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, it is understood that statements about a solitary god are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view, which see divine power as shared by several separate beings, beings which can, and do, disagree and have conflicts with each other. The concept of Many comprising One is quite visible in the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23.\n\nGod exists in three persons\n\nThe "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional Western Christian symbolism.This one God however exists in three persons, or in the Greek hypostases. God has but a single divine nature. Chalcedonians — Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants — hold that, in addition, the Second Person of the Trinity — God the Son, Jesus — assumed human nature, so that he has two natures (and hence two wills), and is really and fully both true God and true human. In the Oriental Orthodox theology, the Chalcedonian formulation is rejected in favor of the position that the union of the two natures, though unconfused, births a third nature: redeemed humanity, the new creation.\n\nIn the Trinity, the Three are said to be co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will. However, as laid out in the Athanasian Creed, only the Father is unbegotten and non-proceeding. The Son is begotten from (or "generated by") the Father. The Spirit proceeds from the Father (or from the Father and through the Son — see filioque claus

Wherever you face, there is God. Why should there still arise the question of qiblat? Your faith to God is your eternal qiblat.

That answer would probably be best answered according to your belief. Where there is an absence of faith, no miracle can be believed hence no miracle can occur.

Faith - no matter the religion or lack there of faith is a common element.  Once faith is lost and there are no more believers it moves to the realm of myth.  Even the atheist and the agnostic have faith - the athiest has faith no diety exists and the agnostic has faith that someone will prove conclusively that the diety does or does not exist.

No, faith is not enough.  James 2:17 says "thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself. "

Faith is not right or wrong. It just addresses all of the I don't knows with a certain mental perspective. Ppl need to be able to believe no matter what the circumstances. It's only by faith that anything becomes possible.\n\nBelieveing in things that for the most parthave been proven wrong is just denial.

Faith.  Believing even when you do not physically see it in front of you.  \n\nI have seen many miracles.  I do believe in God.  He has told messages to people to record and translate.  The BIBLE, should be valued and loved.  I will someday see God face to face.
