Humility and Biblical Faith go hand in hand. Someone who truly has Faith will be humble and they will be fruitful with the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. A person who has Biblical Faith does not humiliate others or belittle them. A person who has Biblical Faith will not cause embarrassment to others. Some of the "teachings" that I have heard about "Faith" leave the hearers (including me) confused and humiliated.
