I think he means something like, I believe we will be seeing each other forever.

| I don't want the alternatives, I ask if whether it is correct for grammar, 'to have faith in + verbing' |

i understand what u want to say. But i think for the true sentence u must say: " we are on the faith of seeing each other all the time". How do u think about this sentence? |

First off, please write in English on the forum. In other words, try to use correct capitalization (don't write "i" for "I", and start your sentences with capital letters), and spell words correctly (write "you" instead of "u"). It really annoys us teachers when someone wants help writing in correct English when that person is TRYING to write in bad English! If you are writing bad English on purpose, why should we want to help you?
That said, "We are on the faith of seeing each other all the time," is complete nonsense, and a native English speaker wouldn't understand it, let alone know how to fix it. It is probably a calque from your native language. It's definitely not an English construction. |
