Mr 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

the Bible does define faith
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

New Testament faith is by definition faith in a person, the difference being that this person is more trustworthy than humans in general.
"Many believed in his name... but Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he knew all men" (John ch2 vv23-25)
Incidentally, this thread is focussed on Biblical theology. The idea that duality is something to be rejected belongs to other religions or philosophies, so it is alien to Biblical thinking and has no relevance here.

This is an exercise in Biblical theology.
