In order for Christians to agree on the fundamentals of the faith, we need to agree on which bible version to use since they all say different things and contain different truths. Using one word, either "of" or "in" changes the whole doctrine of justification. Is it my faith or the faith of Jesus Christ? If it's my faith, then it must be demonstrated by my works. This brings in the works based believers. If it's the faith of Christ, then look no further to Christ's obedience unto death, even the death of the cross. Christ did all the work for us. All we are asked to do is believe. "Even we have believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Christ."
not at all
even if you prefer 'of' rather than 'in', there is still nothing to support a passivity in believing
Jesus had faith His Father would raise Him from the dead...He did say 'into your hands I commend my spirit'
now if we had the faith of Christ, would we not have 'perfect' faith? right? that would be Christ's faith? yes?
we would all be on the same page if we all had perfect faith, ie the faith of Christ
that is not true, so therefore, the observant person must change their perception and agree with scripture which states there are not only varying degrees of faith (personal) but different 'types' of faith
there are far too many directives in scripture, concerning faith as being both diverse in application, ie: have faith in God, or Jesus saying someone had 'little' faith, or where Jesus says 'your' faith...indicating a personal faith, and so on...way too numerous to go into detail here and not sure it would help anyways...a person can research this if they are vitally interested in the op subject matter
as far as a concern over works, works do not save nor do they create any kind of faith
what scripture does say, is that works are the result of faith
so, salvation is the gift of God, we are saved, we desire to obey
obedience is not a work but an outcome of faith
and that will be hotly debated by many in this forum and in fact, is ongoing, to no avail that I can see, as I type this post
