"Eph. 1:17-19 doesn't quite match up with what you are saying here."

The Holy Spirit does not give everyone all of the gifts but none receive any of the gifts without faith.

“But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.” - 1 Corinthians 12:7-11:

God, infinite and infinitely perfect, is beyond the capacity of humans to fully understand. Faith is the acceptance of things not understood.

Faith is the acceptance of things not understood.

Sheesh, another made up by Catholics definition.

The Holy Spirit's definition of faith is this.......

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
