I'd agree with that .... b-b-b-b-b-but.  The above *increase our faith*
statement was spoken *before* the Holy Ghost was poured out.

Does *faith* actually increase .... or ... does our trust in God
increase as our relationship with Him develops?  And as the trust
builds, God's work in our lives increase.

Where's a part about *incresing faith* contained in the word post
the initial outpouring of the Holy Ghost?  Is there one?  I dunno.

Rom 10: 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 
        18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went 
           into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 

The above could be the *beginning* of faith as one starts to hear......

2 Thes 1: 3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it 
            is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and 
            the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 

This scripture in 2 Thes. is close... but there's no *amen* two-or-three
scriptures to base this on... right?
