Featured 1 John 5:1 we become Sons of God after believing, Regeneration after Faith

Here is what I mean.


Faith in the sense of Salvation

Ephesians 2:8 & 9

Faith=pisteos

Thayer’s uses pistis conviction of the truth of anything, belief

Mounce states that this is firm belief


Faith in the sense of Faithfulness

Ephesians 4:5

εις κυριος μια πιστις εν βαπτισμα

Now the word pistis is used and there can be several uses for that word,

We this also in

Galatians 5:22

ο δε καρπος του πνευματος εστιν (5719) αγαπη χαρα ειρηνη μακροθυμια χρηστοτης αγαθωσυνη πιστις

Faith=pistis=faithfulness

Thayer=2. Fidelity, Fatihfulness

Mounce uses pistis as the word but uses the definition as faithfulness

faith, belief, firm persuasion, 2 Cor. 5:7; Heb. 11:1; assurance, firm conviction, Rom. 14:23; ground of belief, guarantee, assurance, Acts 17:31; good faith, honesty, integrity, Mt. 23:23; Gal. 5:22; Tit. 2:10; faithfulness, truthfulness, Rom. 3:3; in NT faith in God and Christ, Mt. 8:10; Acts 3:16, et al. freq.; ἡ πίστις, the matter of Gospel faith, Acts 6:7; Jude 3

So in the case of Ephesians 4:5 and Galatians 5:22 these are used as Faith in the promises of God or Faithfulness, and not as giving saving Faith? Would that be Correct (John)?

 

Well I have been told that since 4 or 5 on here have shown me the error of my ways as they put it and have accused me of misinterpretation of the Greek language I was asking your opinion on what they have accused me of misinterpreting. Thank you for your time and response.
