Faith to be faith must be grounded in God the Eternal Father. Anything less is something else. Call it confidence, realization, pride, but don't call it faith.
If I plant a seed of corn and have faith that it will grow a tree, it won't matter how much faith I have in the tree, it's not going to happen. Dumb example, I'm sure there are better ones.
You're wondering about suicide bombers and the like? Think of the audience they face the very moment they enter into the world of spirits. Talk about accountability. ANd trouble. Sure, they will face God. Everyone who dies, as soon as they die go back to greet the God who gave them life, but then what? That is the question.
