"Do these verses contradict one another?"

No, of course not. But it seems clear that while nothing can be accomplished without faith, the other items on the list have no meaning in and of themselves if faith is lacking.

Now, how faith comes about in the first place is another thread!

I agree that you need faith first, but that doesn't mean that faith alone leads to salvation. The Bible does not teach faith alone. If you try to take repentance, confession, and baptism out of the mix, you are disregarding clear Biblical teaching.
