Wow, you are really confused! Look into John 6, where the seekers after signs and wonders asked what was required, what could they do to merit eternal life. You will see what JESUS actually said to them.

You can also find what JESUS told Nicodemus in John 3, paying close attention to what JESUS reveal about the brass snake in the desert long before Nicodemus's time.

When you put the "do" into salvation as work that must be performed, you have strayed away from the Gospel Paul preached and the Apostles taught to the Jews first (via Peter sent to the circumcision) then to the Gentiles (via the House of the Roman Centurion Cornelius).

Post 138, also there is a lot more to belief than what John 6:29 states. Does not Satan believe in Christ but flaunted "his" vanity?

We have to actually live by the faith/belief.

"I believe in Christ, but I can treat my fellow man like crap because I know Christ will forgive me."

Is belief that shallow? This is why our nation, predominately populated by members of the Christian faith, is way off-track; we are entitled to quench our fleshly desires and take our belief for granted.
