The Christian has already passed the judgment and passed in to eternal life - JN 5:24.
If you want to discuss the following passages you posted, feel free to do so.
Notice the definition of the Greek word translated to “believeth” the first 3 definitions all have a number 1 in front of them indicating that all three definitions are included in the primary definition.
Verily,
verily, I
say unto
you, He that
heareth my word,
and believeth on him that
sent me,
hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation;
but is
passed from death unto life.

The passages I quoted indicate that the modern definition of the word believe is incorrect and that the Greek definitions of the word pistis, pisteuo, and pistos all imply faithfulness, trustworthiness, and fidelity which could be summed up by devotion. This is what the church has taught since the very beginning of Christianity and the early church writings reflect this teaching.
