Good example of faith/belief but no love/obedience to Jesus. This faith only is dead according to James.deleted
John 12:42-43,
-Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Jesus, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue;
for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
This is an excellent example of faith/belief only. It is a dead faith, it cannot save.
