Faith is the fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, KJV
22 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, YLT
The definition:
4102 pístis (from 3982/peithô, "persuade, be persuaded") – properly, persuasion (be persuaded, come to trust); faith.
Faith (4102/pistis) is always a gift from God, and never something that can be produced by people. In short, 4102/pistis ("faith") for the believer is "God's divine persuasion" – and therefore distinct from human belief (confidence), yet involving it. The Lord continuously births faith in the yielded believer so they can know what He prefers, i.e. the persuasion of His will (1 Jn 5:4).

Faith (4102/pistis) is always received from God, and never generated by us.
Reflection: Faith is only (exclusively) given to the redeemed. It is not a virtue that can be worked up by human effort.

Nope faithfulness is a fruit of the spirit in those who are already believers

Faith is a fruit of the Spirit Gal 5:22
And not one verse mentions faith in the gospel.
You are reading your theology into scripture.
Further gifts of the Spirit are for
Galatians 5:24–26 (LEB) — 24 Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh together with its feelings and its desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, we must also follow the Spirit. 26 We must not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
those saved who belong to Christ and live by the Spirit not unregenerate men.
Yet again your theology is formed through the ignoring of context.

Why is it that you never mention the "Faith OF Jesus?" EVER.

No after you are regenerated by the Spirit, then the Spirit works Faith in the heart. It's also called the sanctification of the Spirit 2 These 2:13, then comes faith or believing of the truth. This is elementary. So Faith is the fruit of the Spirit

A person is Justified by the Faith of Jesus Christ. However the fruit of the Spirit is in consequence of Christ work on that persons behalf.

Okay then is nothing else to say. I've read material like what you posted over a 100 times over the past 30-40 years and it's error and against the truth

2 Thes 2:13...... which was In 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, the apostle Paul is writing to the church in Thessalonica, addressing concerns about the end times and the return of Christ. The scene is set in a small gathering of believers, huddled together in a dimly lit room.
Most likely a small group would have people that God had a need for. Especially in light that end times was a focus.
2 Thes 2:14 - 17
14 It was for this He called you through our gospel, that you may gain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter from us.
16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace,
17 comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.
Nothing in the verses suggest predestined before time.
Because he is reading into scripture the particulars of his theology

I know who He is writing to, the elect 1 Thess 1:1-5
Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2;We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3R Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
5For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

AI ~ Yes, people with free will can receive the fruit of the Spirit, which includes qualities like love, joy, and peace, by choosing to live in accordance with the Holy Spirit's guidance. This process involves surrendering to God and allowing the Spirit to cultivate these attributes in their lives
You are welcome!!!
