Here's how I'm seeing the sentence he put:
[quoting from Vine's (Vol. 2, pg 71, of 1981 copy ["...of OT and NT Words"]); with bold, underline and bracketed insert/comment mine, and slight difference of arrangement, so show my point; parenthesis original]
"All this stands in contrast to belief in its purely natural exercise, which consists of an opinion held in good faith without necessary reference to its proof. The object of Abraham's faith was
--not God's promise (that was the occasion of its exercise); [my comment: this would correspond to the underlined, above]
--his faith rested on God Himself, Rom. 4:17, 20, 21. See ASSURANCE, BELIEF, FAITHFULNESS, FIDELITY."
[end quoting]
No thanks I've just read (after dinner) Balaam's oracles from Numbers and the testimony of Steven before the Sanhedrin from Acts. What I've already written is plenty for Salvation. Nothing valid has been written regarding salvation, since the Revelation of John. Go read your own Bible and stop spreading heresy like fertilizer to the saved.

Faith - Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
Faith
The main elements in "faith" in its relation to the invisible God, as distinct from "faith" in man, are especially brought out in the use of this noun and the corresponding verb, pisteuo; they are
(1) a firm conviction, producing a full acknowledgement of God's revelation or truth, e.g., 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12;
(2) a personal surrender to Him, John 1:12;
(3) a conduct inspired by such surrender, 2 Corinthians 5:7. Prominence is given to one or other of these elements according to the context. All this stands in contrast to belief in its purely natural exercise, which consists of an opinion held in good "faith" without necessary reference to its proof. The object of Abraham's "faith" was not God's promise (that was the occasion of its exercise); his "faith" rested on God Himself, Romans 4:17, Romans 4:20-Romans 4:21. See ASSURANCE, BELIEF, FAITHFULNESS, FIDELITY
This is the way I see it.

"By faith [Pistei - G4102 - noun] Abraham, being tested, has offered up Isaac. Even the one having received the promises was offering up his only begotten son, as to whom it was said, "In Isaac your offspring will be reckoned," having reasoned [G3049 - logisamenos / logizomai] that God was able even to raise him out from the dead, from where he received him also in a simile." - Hebrews 11:17-19.
