What you seemed to haved missed in that passage is that "Peter" was already a believer and had a relationship that allowed him to Love Christ to the fullest extent of his ablity to love no matter what that look like,( whether it be philia or Agape.) You however are not in such a position, as you have not accepted the Agape offered. Remember John 3:16. It is the gateway for the expressive ablity to Love God to the limits of your ablities. You can not simply disregaurd it just because you have derived an understanding found later on in the same book.
Drichs guide to a good arguement:
1. Smile! If you smile at the start it makes it seem like you have the upper hand by promoting an air of unwarrented smugness.
2. Insert mention of Peter as loving Christ completely, conveiniantly overlook he supposedly denied him three times.
3. Imply opponent is in no position to debate you because they do not completely agree with your beliefs, refuse to note obvious paradox.
4. Insert Bible passage as if it were evidence for anything and hope opponent doesn't have a solid grasp of religous texts. For those who don't:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
5. Atempt to belittle opponents evidence for not accepting your interpretation by stating it just happens to be part of the same book... which you also believe is the word of a timeless and all-knowing presence that you tirelessly quote from; God.
6. Rest and feel the satisfaction of a job well done.
