Generally believer means who have faith in God.If a nonbeliever is honest and work for the well being of mankind then what we call him or her.I think God will give the person reward which he or she deserves.Believer but dishonest person can't be better than a nonbeliever who is honest and work for humanbeing.

I like to leave the person's destiny up to God. In the meantime, I pray for those that God puts on my heart and do my best to be a good example but not a door mat. Always balance. When the Bible says that it is not God's will that any man should perish, I figure He knows how to figure it out. If he wants me to help, I ask God to be with me and help me too!

Not I but Christ in me. Isn't it nice to have a big brother so close.

I think that it doesnt really matter what religion you are in gods view. I mean if it did matter then everyone would just assume their own religion would be the best and we would get no where. Instead we have to learn to cooperate with one another. I think that not having a religion is the same way. As long as someone is genuine and works really hard to make life better for other people, then no doubt that person will go to heaven or something if it exists. Perhaps they grew up in a place where religion was absent and so it would not be their fault if they did not have one. there are just a myriad of possibilities.

God does not ask us to believe in Him. He wants us to be good souls, in helping others, he is doing what God wanted, for in each human He is present. When one does good deeds and is honest, he is the chosen one by God. A believer, who is inhuman has no place in the eyes of God. He is love and humility combined. Those who have this for their human beings are the ones God choses to call His own.

I believe that God does not need us to believe in Him. I call this person a good human.

We are here to learn and grow, some of us do that by living good lives and helping others, others learn by living bad lives and it is not up to us to judge. Our purpose is to grow and there are as many ways to do that as there are people.

Maybe if he or she lives in a tribe in a remote area, but if he
lives like a modern man does, I don't think God will save him or
her. In this day and age where information moves fast, there is
no way he can not meet someone who believes in God and try to
convince him.

Hey,
Good point their! I have seen many people who are really good people, they are kind, loving, never swear and are almost perfect. But they only lack one thing, they lack faith in God, they don't believe in God. On the other hand, I have seen many faithful believers in God and really religious, but they swear, aren't kind, and don't even help out the poor. Now I can't really judge these people so I can't say who is better, but I would say that it is worse to 'claim' you are a believer in God and say you are 'religious' if you really act like that. Hope this helps!!!

Hello bhanusb! I am not sure about this matter but I believe in God and I admit, I am not perfect. I made some mistakes too but I somehow regret doing it. I won't judge those non - believer who are good person but for me we should acknowledge our Creator for creating us. I believe in God and I believe that He created us. I am not the type of person who always go to the church but I believe in Him and I believe He created me and all the good things that happened and will happen are all God's will.
I agree that what God wants us is to be a good person but He also wanted us to know that there are someone out there who wants His creation to be peaceful and happy.
