He his faithful your correct, and anyone's faith is not fulfilled untill this is complete in the believer. Only genuine faith receives salvation.
If you can't agree, so be it.
1 Peter 1:3-9
New International Version
Praise to God for a Living Hope
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

Repeating scriptures is the easy part, doing is another.
And mostly the four Gospels are spoken to the apostles, who all gave up there life's for the lord.
But what happens with a lot of people is they take the apostles confidence as there own.
It Is the same for all theese people who think they must be an Israelite,
Or they must be from the line of Juda.
So many people who want to be someone, else or try to,
Then there's the people who follow the crowd and general opinion, worshiping the sound of there own voice.
The truth is The Holy Spirit baptises you in water 😊

it's commanded.
Hebrews 3:5-6
And Moses indeed [was] faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken [afterward,] but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.
Hebrews 3:14
For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end

John 3:18 - He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Acts 13:39 - and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Romans 1:16 - For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
1 John 5:11 - And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.
Genuine believers trust in Jesus Christ for salvation and not in themselves and will not go to hell also.

So what Jesus, Paul and John said in John 3:18, Acts 13:39, Romans 1:16 and 1 John 5:11-13 are not true statements according to you? Personally, I believe Jesus, Paul and John, which is not man's own logical reasoning, but scripture. (2 Timothy 3:16)
1 Peter 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls. - Those with authentic faith.

this doesn't say faith must be tried in fire.
it says that the particular trials of the people who Peter was writing to were so that their genuineness would be proven, the result of that being proven being praise, glory and honor.
and it says that even though gold is purified by fire, gold still perishes - the implication being that faith is worth far more than gold because it never perishes.

Faith still has to be tested in fire 😊
Peter 1:7
7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
