By the blood of Jesus we are pure, and drinking poison would make us improper for God, because we would tempt God. If someone tries to poison us, that's a different thing.
And no, poison doesn't show we are pure. Only Jesus' blood!

Well to be pure we must not live according to the flesh and the works of the flesh are in the Bible, what St.Paul wrote. He also talked about how we live by the spirit and the works of the spirit. Jesus talked about "blessed are the clean of heart." I copied this from new advent.org - God Bless
Sixth Beatitude
According to biblical terminology, "cleanness of heart" (verse 8) cannot exclusively be found in interior chastity, nor even, as many scholars propose, in a genral purity of conscience, as opposed to the Levitical, or legal, purity required by the Scribes and Pharisees. At least the proper place of such a blessing does not seem to be between mercy (verse 7) and peacemaking (verse 9), nor after the apparently more far-reaching virtue of hunger and thirst after justice. But frequently in the Old and New Testaments (Gen., xx, 5; Job, xxxiii, 3; Pss., xxiii (Hebr., xxiv), 4; lxxii (Hebr., lxxiii), 1; I Tim,i.5; II Tim, ii, 22) the "pure heart" is the simple and sincere good intention, the "single eye" of Matt., vi, 22, and thus opposed to the unavowed by-ends of the Pharisees (Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18; 7:15; 23:5-7, 14) This "single eye" or "pure heart" is most of all required in the works of mercy (verse 7) and zeal (verse 9) in behalf of one's neighbor. And it stands to reason that the blessing, promised to this continuous looking for God's glory, should consist of the supernatural "seeing" of God Himself, the last aim and end of the heavely kingdom in its completion.

PURE is the SPIRIT not the flesh. And the poison you speak of, (not being rude, but how can I put it so you will understand), is the 'world" in which we live with its ways, and the false teachings, doctrines and traditions of man, and the Spiritual ignorance of the Word of God. I hope you understand what I am trying to say. If you DRINK poison you will likely die, Christian or sinner. I believe in Christ with all my heart, but I am not going to drink anything that will harm me. That's like someone stepping in front of a bus and saying God will protect me. Only an idiot would do that. We are children of Christ, not fools for Christ.

We are only made 'pure' by the Blood of the Lamb of God.
Jesus died for our sins, and His Blood sacrifice covers the sins of those who accept Him as their Lord and Savior, and take up their cross and follow Him. Faith without works is dead.
