Speaking In Tongues Does Not Equal Salvation.

What you wrote might focus on the faith aspect of salvation but it does not negate the necessity of also obeying the gospel.

Luke 13:5 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

I don't have a clue why you would quote John 3:5 or Mark 16:16 or even 2 Thessalonians 1:8?????????????? None of those verses say what you need them to say.

I've heard it said that repentance is a change of direction. If someone confesses with their mouth the Lord Jesus and believes in their heart that God raised him from the dead then I think it can be argued that they have changed direction.
