"Isn't that convienient, all you have to do is believe. What about the demons? They also believe in Jesus. Rmember what He did to them? The pigs, the cliff? How could he be so cruel to those who believe in him?"

My definition of a true believer is someone that not only intellectually believes that Jesus is Lord, but also ACCEPTS JESUS AS LORD OF HIS LIFE, which inevitably produces a profound change in the believer's life. I don't think the demons did that.

Can you please quote which scriptural verses support your interpretation? Especially where Scripture says that we "ACCEPT JESUS AS LORD OF HIS LIFE."
