One other quick insight that has come to me is the distinction between those who are martyred for what they believe and those who deliberately put themselves in Death's pathway for what they believe. The first being an ultimate statement of surrender of one's being to or for what/Whom they believe. The second is more a statement of what "I" am giving/doing to or for what/Whom I believe. Perhaps the difference is akin to the difference between salvation by grace through faith and salvation by works.
It can be said that what humans believe is of no great import. BUT what they DO BELIEVE determines what they will/and are willing, to DO.
