The three words that are up for interpretation are in my opinion the three words I highlighted. What does "Live" mean? How can we live in someone? Who is "me"? Jesus? Live in Jesus? How? Christ...being one with he father? Is it the Son? Who is the Son? Are we son's too? What does die mean? I am not going to have a physical death? Or is there another way to die? Or live?

I think you are going off-track here.
Those who
live, and believe in
me, will never
die.....
Notice what a difference a simple comma makes. I don't see any problems. Believe in me might be interpreted in different ways but they will all work in some way for the people who chose that interpretation.
