    To the Roman Centurion:
    Matthew 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
    --Where did this centurion "get his faith" from?

    To the men carrying the one sick of the palsy Jesus said:
    Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
    --It was their faith; obviously Jesus didn't give it to them.

    To the woman diseased with an issue of blood, Jesus said:
    Matthew 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
    --The woman's faith.

    To two blind men requesting to be healed, he said:
    Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
    --"their faith"--where did it come from; not from Christ.

    A Canaanite woman had a daughter vexed with a demon and came to Jesus for help. Jesus first likened her to a dog:
    Matthew 15:26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
    But when she continued to plead, Jesus said:
    Matthew 15:28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
    --A Gentile woman had great faith according to Jesus. How did she come by this great faith? She certainly wasn't saved, or regenerated.

    Paul came to Lystra and met a cripple:
    Acts 14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
    --Where did the faith come from? Paul makes no inference that it was from God.

    All throughout the Bible, and especially the gospels faith is spoken of in a personal way. Jesus again and again speaks of "your faith."
