Oh I completely disagree with you. Ever man is given a measure of faith no matter if it faith to believe in God or faith used to NOT believe in Him. One can have faith before the spirit because one must HAVE faith to receive the spirit. Also, the gift of faith is not simply being able to have faith. It is a gift to be able to increase faith not to start faith. Faith is in everyone a person with a gift of faith has the ablility to help others faith(and their own too) increase.
