Yes. The word faith is made up out of the word peithō :
Paul said 2 Tim 1:12
For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
Also when God says the New Covenant recipients will Know Him, thats giving them the Gift of Faith Heb 8:10-11
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Jesus secures unto them this Knowledge/Faith Jn 17:3
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
So, is faith the same as knowing? is faith the same as certainty?
Yes. The word faith is made up out of the word peithō :
- to persuade, i.e. to induce one by words to believe
