I wonder when JESUS said Its YOUR faith that saved you that faith In that time was the same as the word believe that a human being would use.
The reason I say faith In that time meant to believe with 5 sense knowledge Is because man cannot use the faith that JESUS had If they haven’t been given faith from JESUS.

Salvation - in the Holy spirit Rebirth and re-newness -process of spiritual activities of the Holy spirit in the heart which starts really when one is received after becoming believer - should pray for it
Education - punishment from God every day - to be holy

Quick reference
thread called Faith
Faith that Is alive saves.
Faith Is fruit of the Spirit and can only be given to us from JESUS,JESUS,the vine and we are the branches receiving sustenance from the vine
How would man use the faith that saves of himself In his own strength?IThink he would have to use sensory knowledge that he uses to believe and then JESUS will give them rest.
JESUS said that If OUR faith Is only as big as a mustard seed we could move mountains.

yes
apostles in that time asked to multiply there faith
Jesus said - nothing you have from what could be done multiplication
they did not have the faith of God
if you would have - would be visible that you have by manifestations of it
have to receive the Holy spirit and be filled with Him - then there's hope to have one from Him

Faith is belief in Jesus, the son of God who died and rose again as the atoning sacrifice for our sins
and works in our hearts to purify and transform us through our obedient walk into His likeness.
Without this faith and this walk we are lost.
The faith is the expression of acceptance of Christ as God and His message of redemption and hope
that in following Him we will be perfect as Jesus declared
21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and
you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
Matt 19

Matt 19
The early Jews, the same as ourselves today, firstly needed to believe Jesus is the promised Messiah. That is the first step. Following on from that we need to put out trust in Him, believing He can and will heal us of our sins.
Let me illustrate it like this. If we are sick, we go to see a doctor. We put our faith in him, believing he can and will heal us of our bodily ills, trusting him in all things. The faith, belief and trust that we have in the doctor are entirely ours.

Do people lose their faith?
There is a sense in which if we believe Jesus is God, then how can we continue to do ourselves
harm by staying in sinful behaviour, and if our hearts change we want and enjoy other things.
So equally if we stay in sinful behaviour or return to it, we are hurting ourselves and the Lord.
There comes a point when we are so closed down and shut off, like Tina Turners song, "What
has love got to do with it", we have no living relationship and faith.
So I am suggesting that sin destroys our faith, it destroys our ability to trust God will forgive
us and leads us to a place where we say, it is all pointless.
What I am trying to say, is walking in Jesus is walking with an open emotional heart.
To continually do ourselves and others harm, causes us pain, which we can only survive by
becoming hard. Once we are hard, we do not notice sin or care about it.
Paul described this condition as reaping death.
So the living plant of faith lives by following and obeying Christ, walking in love.
It is damaged and hurt by the evil we do and the denial of the hurt we bring.
Is this a fair summary of things in Christ?

Jesus did not say the words you are quoting or its intentions.
If you want to make certain points or present ideas can you quote the scriptures and
contexts from which you draw them, or else it just sounds like fanciful ideas

And Jesus said to them, 'Through your want of faith; for verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to you,
no faith
faith should work
then it becomes saving one
one is saved after receiving by faith the following -
King James Bible
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
and this has its own signs
without signs no rebirth has been taken place- only dreaming about
