fun fact, the boiling point of pure gold is 5,137° F
turn the heat and pressure up enough and gold will vaporize.
but faith is more precious.
nearly impossible to have pure gold - that's why even gold that has been purified by fire still tarnishes.
and every physical substance like gold can and will be completely destroyed, atom by atom, even the atoms themselves being burned away, with enough pressure and heat.
but faith is not physical. it is spiritual.
it is more precious.

So I will assume your saved, because you don't show any distension.
So if your saved the spirit that is in you should test the spirit.
Why are you instructed to do this.
Many reasons,
One reason is the bible says the lord will test you, and in many verses 😊
I will show you the testing and refining for saved people
Psalm 66:10
For You have tried us, O God;
You have refined us as silver is refined.
Silver is also purified in fire.
But speaking about other tests, the test of your heart and mind.
All this is the lord working with his saved children.
So it's not that it's a bad thing for saved people.
