What EXACTLY is an Unbeliever?

1 Cor ch. 6 vs 14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

So what is an unbeliever exactly? What do you call someone who is not exactly born again, but beleives in God? what do you call someone who was once born again but got choked by the things of this world?

And are all these people the same as someone who has never believed in Christ?

And are all THESE people the same as someone who knows God exists but rejects him?

Because James said even the demons believe! And they tremble! So are demons unbelievers?

Someone tlak to me

Unbelieving believers...Believe but dont BELIEVE...Believe but not follow. Jesus is the savior, yea but not wanna follow Him...He is also Lord aint in they voca. feel me? It hath come moooo as a head knowledge thing than a revelation. Sahm the spirit birthes in they hearts. Backsliders...those gotten chocked by the cares of the world. Devils Believing unbelievers. Do not follow Jesus as the word but know Jesus as the word. In the beginning was da word...yea. A lil bit. I can learn from wat othaz gosta say.

oh yea.... Sage is right ...lol, i like the term unbelieving believers. It is not enough to believe in God.... muslims believe in God, Hinduists and Idol worshippers believe in God but it is not the God, Jehovah, in which we christians believe. They are unbelievers.

Alas, to be a believer is to know Christ Jesus.

Once a believer is always a believer. A miracle happened in the spirit the day a man receives Jesus. but that is not enough.... his lifestyle muct align to Christ-Likeness.

sooo..... he may go astray but as long as he believes in Christ, he is a believer. He just needs to be taught in the things of God and attain spiritual growth. Just because a man got born again does not mean he is a mature christian, he is a baby christian and must grow in the things of God and renew his mind lest he be choked by things of the world.
