Faith in Him is true for it is the same as His.

Rom 3:22-24
(22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
(23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
(24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

The problem that I see with Biblical fundamentalism is that it seems to reduce faith to dead textualism that is devoid of a living communion with God and not just reading it.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.
Romans 2:13

As St. Gregory of Sinai, a 13th century Greek monk, who is considered a saint by Catholics and Orthodox alike writes the following in his treatise: “On Commandments and Doctrines”

“Grace-imbued faith, energized by the Holy Spirit, alone suffices for salvation, provided we sustain it and do not opt for a dead and effectual faith rather than a living and effective faith in Christ.”
