Do we have to feel something to say that we have faith on God. Does faith really moves mountain.

i believe faith is based on some emotion, because if you didn't feel something then you probably wouldn't have any reason to believe it to be so other than being told its so.

I don't think I'd call it emotions but thoughts. Faith is just you believing and if you believe anything enough, it becomes so. At least in you're reality.

Faith in this instance is defined as a belief and trust in, and loyalty to, God.

Faith is born out of more than just emotion.
It is also supported by testament, testimonials, witnessed accounts and other physical and spiritual "evidence".
Regardless of whether the things that bolster a person's faith are true or not, they are interpreted as such by people of faith and are judged as pure BS by people who do not believe.
