There is physical sight and spiritual sight.  Faith is spiritual sight. 
Therefore, faith is evidence of reality that not perceived by the physical 
senses.

The Scriptures say, "I believed, therefore have I spoken."  The confession 
of our mouth locates our faith.  So, yes, you can tell about a person's 
faith by how they speak.

No.

It is not likely that all of us on the list will agree with what faith is. 
However, all those in Christ will agree on what faith is.  Then all those in 
Christ can tell who has it.  :-)

Peace be with you.
