Eph 4:5?

What is thee one faith mentioned here, or how do we know what is the one true Christian Faith?
Hi...Welcome to the forum.

Ephesians 4:5
1Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,
2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love,
3being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling;
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

In the Christian faith there are two types of church:

One is the church...it's a building where we go to worship God.

The other is the Church....
The Church is made up of all persons, all over the world, that believe in God...
Believe that Jesus is the Son of God...or God incarnate...that He died, was resurrected
and atoned for the sins of all mankind - and those that are willing to live as disciples
of Jesus belong to this Church.

These persons tend to be humble because they appreciate what Jesus has done for them.
Then tend to desire to show love, as Jesus told us to do.

We may argue about doctrine on these forums...but we all love our Lord and wish to please Him.
The Church is known as the One Body....we are all part of the "Body of Christ".

So, we have One Lord....Jesus
One Faith...the faith we have in God and His Son's salvation
One Baptism....we are all baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
 
Faith means the trustworthiness or reliance on Gods word for his salvation for us who believe in him. It's a belief in the promises and blessings of his word and applying his word to our daily walk with him by seeing the confidence in the testimony of others.

The nature of faith is seen through the fruits of the Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance, which these fruits brings about kindness, self control and faithfulness through the works of God that comes from our heart.

Faith gives us freedom from condemnation and freedom of salvation through adoption as we become one body in the Lord as we walk by faith, live by faith, pray by faith and resist evil by faith. By faith we are an overcomer of this world as we stand fast and are grounded in Gods word knowing we have assurance of all of his promises that makes us victorious in all things here on earth by us applying his word to our lives to know for a surety that he will never leave us or forsake us.

Faith is a living reality in ones life through Gods service by declaring his word as we bear witness to his name by the mighty works he has done. It’s not even our faith, but that of Jesus who is our faith as we believe in who he has said he was and to the glory and honor that he has brought before the Father through his life, death and resurrection that we to can become heirs to the throne of grace by coming boldly to his throne and surrendering all of us to him to be Lord and Savior of our live.

Hebrews chapter 11 is probably one of the greatest faith chapters in the Bible. I want to take you through each verse and show you how faith brought about Gods promise and favor to his people. We have these same promises today and forever because of the covenant God made with Abraham in Genesis 12:1-3 and for all generations to come because we are the heirs of God and joint-heirs of Christ, Romans 8:12-17.​
