But believers in WHAT is the point.

And what do you do about it? James 2:19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but not all "belief" is of equal value. Muslims are also believers, for example, and while I do n ot doubt that most are decent people, and many are quite sincere in their beliefs, I doubt that that will do them much good in the hereafter.

The point to believe is that Jesus is the Son of God, He came to live as a man, died for our (mine, your) sins, that you might have eternal life through that payment, IF you believe on Him.

“Not to put too fine a point on it...”

Too fine a point. I’d hope that you’d understand that I meant “believers” as believers in Christ as Savior, not anyone with a belief, but I will try to be more succinct in the future.
