A person is either a believer or an unbeliever. An unbeliever might not have heard enough to believe, or he might have heard enough but refuses to believe. There are no other classifications, but there always some people who think they are clever enough to make up their own classification.
There are believers and unbelievers.
Some would call themselves Atheists, and then there are those who would say they are evolutionists.
However, you It all depends on what you mean by the Fruits.
say your friend believes but does not worship. If you believe then it depends on which God. Most people say there is only one God but with different names and that all roads lead to God. But this is not the case. The God of the Bible, Jehovah, is the true God. If you believe in Jehovah you would want to worship him because he is our Creator and life giver.
Yes, I agree. It is important that we accept the ransom sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is through that ransom sacrifice that we can become reconciled to Jehovah God. Jehovah sent his son to this earth so that all those who believe in him may have the hope of everlasting life.
Ask him why he believe God.
A famous pollster George Gallup, Jr. asked "Do you believe in God" Perhaps to the surprise of some, 95 percent of both the adults (over 30 years of age) and the teenagers polled said yes! But to what extent does belief translate into action? Apparently very little. For Mr. Gallup reported that when some young adults were asked, “To what degree do your religious beliefs affect your daily thinking or acting,” a mere 26 percent said, “a great deal.”
Your friend is on the right path. He needs to get to know the true God Jehovah by gaining accurate knowledge, what the bible really teach about God. This is what the disciple James asked those who said they believed in God “You believe there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder. . . . Faith apart from works is inactive.” (James 2:19, 20) On the other hand, the Bible tells of individuals who went beyond mere belief.

If there is somebody who believes that there is one God, but doesn't worship that God that means that person is either ignorant or indifferent. Whether we are ignorant or indifferent - both are wrong. We are not inspired or motivated to live, to evolve. What is good, what is right is believing that there is one God, there may be thousands of religions but all the Gods of all religions are ultimately one power, a power that is beyond human comprehension. We must worship God, and how do you worship God? You believe, you trust, you have faith and ultimately you love God, you yearn for God - that is true love, true belief, true faith in God.
We do worship God, but Jesus Christ is who you want to worship he is the only way to get to the Father according to the Bible, the reason for this is cause he was the sacrifice for your sins, by no other means can man be saved except through Jesus Christ and asking him into your heart and life, and living, serving and praising him. Jesus died so you may have life, and God is your Heavenly Father and we worship him too, but Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit are all one, the trinity. Jesus is the son of God who shed his blood on a cross so you could have remission of sins and eternal life with God, you will live forever, even after you die cause you will be in Heaven worshiping Jesus Christ.. Always give praise to God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Ghost. Not all roads lead to God only Jesus Christ and knowing him leads to God, He is the only way that man can be saved!!
