I see; I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between believing the Bible is the word of God, and believing the men who wrote the Bible. Perhaps you can clarify.
Regardless, faith broadly speaking requires a proposer and a proposition. You have to identify both things in order for something to be faith.
Its also worth noting that although you can have faith/trust in many different proposers and propositions, when it comes to Christianity the proposer needs to be God. Trust in God is the only way in which faith is a virtue for the Christian. So although trusting your surgeon is an act of faith, only trust in God matters when it comes to salvation, etc.
