I think this is because you've bought the idea that
mere intellectual assent to axioms is lacks something. But if I do truly assent to the axioms of scripture, what is missing? My soul is not divided between my head and my heart - this is a Greek paradigm foreign to Scripture. If my mind believes, I believe, my soul and heart and head and spirit believe. They are all the same thing. And if there is something beyond intellect, then my heart can not know it, and God has not revealed it through his Word - which is the whole counsel of God.
If I believe (intellectually assent to) the axioms of the Gospel, then the Word tells me I am saved.
