Yes, but that is not through our faith, but through Christ's faith.

Now, can you please show me with scripture, what God the Son, needs to have faith in? -

Note the KJV's inconsistency...
vs 22: πιστεως ιησου KJV: "faith of Jesus"
vs 26: πιστεως ιησου KJV: "believeth in Jesus"
The NIV, NASB, ESV, NKJV,
"To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."
so faith in Jesus is doctrinally sound regardless of how one translates vs 22. -
I thought Iconoclast had brought us back from chasing rabbits, but alas, we're off track again.
I realize Calvinist, Reformed, DoG are sometimes used interchangeably, and I suppose that's okay in some ways, since it gives one a quick summary of one's soteriology.
But I really associate the term Reformed with Presbyterians more than Baptists. Reformed is also linked in a way to Covenant Theology.
Would it be somewhat misleading for a Baptist to describe himself as Reformed if he is not into Covenant Theology? -
Several groups have used the name 'Reformed Baptist' for a while before finally separating themselves from the Baptist denomination altogether. It's what the Disciples of Christ used to be called. Also the Reformed Baptist Alliance of Canada and the Northeast U.S., which eventually joined the Wesleyan Church.

Galatians 2:16
King James Version (KJV)
16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:16
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
16having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'
Galatians 2:16
Wycliffe Bible (WYC)
16 know that a man [soothly knowing for a man] is not justified of the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ; and we believe in Jesus Christ, that we be justified of the faith of Christ [that we be justified by the faith of Christ], and not of the works of the law. Wherefore of the works of the law each flesh shall not be justified.
Galatians 2:16
New Living Translation (NLT)
16 Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”[a]
Galatians 2:16
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
Galatians 2:16
Lexham English Bible (LEB)
16 but knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, if not by faith in Jesus Christ,[a] and we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified[c].
16 know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ.[a] And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will[c] be justified.
Galatians 2:16
American Standard Version (ASV)
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:16
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
16But we know that God accepts only those who have faith in Jesus Christ. No one can please God by simply obeying the Law. So we put our faith in Christ Jesus, and God accepted us because of our faith.
Now, two of the versions I posted here, have footnotes stating it could be "of" instead of "in". So who really knows? I look at consistency, and "in" seems moreso than "of". -
So based on these replies, Reformed usually believe in Covenant Theology, Calvinists use the TULIP as their guide (points), and DoG's seem to be more moderate and can have differing views on eschatology.
Is that correct?
So why do you choose one term over another, speaking from a personal aspect? -

I know Reformed people who are also Dispensationalist. TULIP is only an antiquated acrostic that was used (mostly in the past) but has been greatly modified to be much more descriptive (for Limited Atonement has been adjusted to Particular Atonement). Lastly Doctrines of Grace is a systematic sotorology (did I spell that wrong?)
-
I don't think it breaks down so simply as you put it. DOG people also use the tulip as their guide, and so would be no different than calvinists. Many Baptist Calvinists (DoG people) would call themselves reformed, but a Presbyterian might say they are "reformed in soteriology only" but not in baptism, church government, & eschatology.
So "reformed" MIGHT mean something slightly different than the other two to some extent, but I would say Calvinism & DoG would be exactly the same. -
and it's did I spell that incorrectly.... :D -

Historically baptists are a real mixed up group. Sometimes here on BB you see some who will say They just want to discuss regular baptist doctrine.
That is because some baptist churches are lagging badly on doctrinal basics.
Recently Pastor Greg Nichols has written a book called Covenant theology...written from a Baptist perspective...it is really good.

Tom ......Reformed Baptists recognise the centrality of God's Covenants in scripture. I believe everyone should . -
DoG takes cal theology as JUST rearding sotierology
calvinist all depends IF one is referring to just how Salvation is viewed, or else the entire system! -
