Mitch:

You're on the right track. 

PASAN THN PISTIN has the idea of "total or complete"
faith, such that I could remove mountains with said
faith...(the mountains are not removed based on the
mysteries or knowledge)

I am sure there is a better rendering than "total or
complete" but that's the idea. It is not "all faith"
in the same sense as "all mysteries." 

The solution is not so much either on structure. Even
though "all knowledge" is structurally the same as
PASAN THN PISTN, the noun AND structure determine the
relationship (as you've observed with POLIS).
