Believing in Christ, and committing oneself to Christ [obeying Him] are two different things. According to the biblical evidence given... Nicodemus qualified as a "believer" -- but beyond the gospels... His name isn't mentioned in the New Testament. Neither Nicodemus, nor Joseph of Arimathaea... who was also a "believer."
"...after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus... And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night..." (John 19:38-39).
The Pharisee, Nicodemus, confessed to Jesus, that many others of the Pharisees "believed" in Jesus. But because they possessed a greater fear of the world and what it might think of them, than God, came to Him, secretly, by night:
"There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, WE KNOW THAT THOU ARE A TEACHER COME FROM GOD: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." (John 3:1-2)
John records other Jews who also "believed" on Jesus, who tried to kill Him [John 8: 30--].
While Nicodemus isn't named among this group... neither is his, nor Joseph of Arimathaea's names mentioned beyond the four gospels regarding any further exploits after Jesus' ascension into heaven.
So, The Bible lists Nicodemus and others as "believers" in Christ, only... nothing is mentioned of them beyond that.

Could you describe the beginning and growth of your faith in Jesus Christ?
It's more like Jesus Christ found me. We lived across the street from a Bible believing New Testament church. Many good Christians there taught me the Bible and introduced me to Jesus Christ. I understood the plan of salvation and thought I was "in" because I went to church a lot. The Holy Spirit told me "not so". At that point, I accepted Jesus as my Savior, that he died for me on the cross. I asked him into my heart. A few years later, I recommitted my life to Jesus and began studying the Scriptures in the Bible in detail from Genesis to Revelations. For the first time, I was able to put the entire picture together of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and their relationship to humankind. I began to know Jesus more as a person and he began working more miracles in my life that I never imagined before. My faith in Jesus Christ grew each day and he's still teaching my new things every day.

He lived a perfect life, then took on the penalty of my sin. I can accept it or reject it, but I can't do more about it, it was all done by Jesus. Therefore He is the perfecter or completer of my faith. Being the Chief Agent, is much the same. He is the only source of my salvation, in John 14:6 He said "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me."

By blocking the devil's influence and embracing Jesus as our source of life, we can experience abundance and fulfillment.
