Five Pillars of Faith are:
1. 
Faithful to God
2. 
the angels of His
3. 
His books
4. 
His apostles and the Last Day
5. 
believer in the destiny of good and the bad.
Almighty Allah says:

"But the real virtue is faith in God, days later, the angels, the books, the prophets." (QS.Al-Baqarah: 177).
And in another verse Allah says:

"Apostles had faith in the Qur'an that revealed to him from his Lord, so did the believers. All believe in Allah, His angels, His scriptures and his messengers. We do not discriminate between an apostle with the other "(Surat al-Baqara: 285).
The particulars of fate, Allah says:

 "Verily We created all things according to size." (Surat al-Qomar: 49).
Prophet Muhammad said:

 "Faith is: ye believe in Allah and His angels, His scriptures, His Messengers, Day and destinies of good and the bad." (Narrated).
Faith includes the utterance by the tongue, heart and faith with deeds with their limbs. That faith will be increased by doing obedience, and decreased by doing sinners.



Allah says:

"Those who believe it is they who, when called the name of Allah and their hearts trembled when they read to him verses bertambahlah their faith (for it) and to the God they bertawakkal.(Namely the people who establish worship and who spend of what We Rizki give them. That the people who believe in truth. "(QS.Al-Anfal :2-4).
And Allah is saying the opposite:

"Whoever disbelieved in Allah, His angels, His scriptures, His messengers, and days later the real people that have gone astray into far." (QS.An-Nisa ': 136).
Examples of faith in the form of oral speech is: dhikr, prayer, amar nahi ma'ruf munkar, reading the Qur'an and others. 
And in a heart shape beliefs, such as not believing in the oneness of God Rububiyyah, Uluhiyyah, the names and His attributes, beliefs about the necessity of worship only to Allah alone without Him with a menyukutukan any and other matters relating to the intention.
And included in the category of faith, the heart works, such as love, fear, resignation, submission to God and others. 
Similarly, practice-practice corporate members included in the category of faith, such as: prayer, fasting, and other pillars of Islam, jihad in the path of Allah, his education and so forth.
Almighty Allah says:

"And when it is recited to them His verses bertambahlah their faith." (QS.Al-Anfal: 2).
In another verse Allah says:

"He is down tranquility into the hearts of the believers so that they grow beside the belief in their faith (which already exists)." (QS.Al-Fath: 4).
And the faith of a servant will be increased and increased when the obedience and worship to increase and increase, the opposite will decrease when the content of his faith and obedience and his worship declined. 
Acts as sinners are very influential to one's faith, if such disobedience in the form of shirk or kufr, then it could erode the faith down to its roots. If the disobedience was not until ketingkatan shirk or kufr, it will hinder the perfection of faith that must be owned by any person, or could roil clarity, or weaken it.
Allah says:

"Verily Allah will not forgive the sin of shirk, and He forgives all sins except shirk, for whom it." (QS.An-Nisa ': 48).
In another verse Allah says:

"They (the hypocrites) swear by (name of) Allah, that they did not say (something that hurt you).Indeed, they have to say the word infidelity, and has become infidels after Islam. "(QS.At-Taubah: 74).
And in a hadith the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam said:
(A
 "It is not an adulterer when he committed adultery while in a state of faith, nor a thief when he stole while in a state of faith, nor a person while drinking liquor while he was in a state of faith." (Bukhari and Muslim).
