I know I'm ripping this sentence out of it's original context, but I thought it would be a good place to discuss what faith is. Can you define further what you mean by "child-like faith"?

Response from freebirdro (elsewhere): Yes maybe I should explain what child like faith is. for it usually
meant that one must have the "naiveté,"
"simplicity," or even the "blind resolve" of a child, I found
that it involved having confidence in something that
was trustworthy (or faithful).The
picture that usually comes to the modern mind is one
of "simplicity." Children accept everything you tell
them,
"Whoever then humbles himself as this
child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven"
(Matthew 18:4).
Read in context, we see that Jesus is referring to one
particular attribute of children that is naturally lost
in grown-ups. When he speaks of becoming like a
child, Jesus means this: humility.
A CHILD LIKE FAITH TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANYTHING BUT IT GIVES ALL THE CREDIT TO HIS PARENT.
We can't do nothing to earn our salvation....it is already given to us on the cross.....there is no ladder to claim....
