No. The verse doesn't give two aspects of faith, it
gives the same aspect twice. The two clauses are
restatements of each other.
Things hoped for are not seen, so to say that
faith is the assurance of things hoped for it's the
same as saying it's the conviction of things not seen.
So it turns out that what I said Scripture says is
exactly what it says.
Try out:
Romans 8:24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that
is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
There's no way you can hold to your bizarre "experiential"
theology and to Scripture at the same time (without
committing horrid illogic.)

Perhaps Mark Chapter 7:14-19 will cover blood, when used as a food?
14: And he (Jesus) called the people to him again, and said to them,
"Hear me, all of you, and understand:
15: there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile
him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him."
17: And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his
disciples asked him about the parable.
18: And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do
you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile
him,
19: since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?"
(Thus he declared all foods clean.)
