Christian "faith" vs. plain "faith"

[watchamadoodle]

Just because I've seen evidence doesn't mean I require it. when Jesus walked up to the disciples and said "come follow me" they dropped what they were doing and followed him having no idea who he was... that's faith. Having spent enough time with him, they seen the evidence of who he was, now it's no longer faith. Get it?

I think what you really mean is that it was "an act of faith". The disciples' faith was close to 0% at the beginning, but the potential returns if Jesus was the "Son of Man" or the "Messiah" made it seem worth the risk in spite of their low confidence. Later the disciples faith increased from 0% to almost 100%.

So you're mixing faith with riskiness. The riskiness is higher when the faith/confidence is lower IMO. This is another example of "faith" meaning all kinds of things and causing confusion.
