He prayed to God because he believes. That seems pretty obvious doesn’t it?

Believes what? You believe that God is One; you do well; the demons also believe and tremble. Doesn't mean he is saved.

The shooter believed in God also.

Allah is NOT God.

Satan believes in God. God is looking for a relationship. I believed in God for 43 years and I believed Jesus died for my sins. I was 43 when God introduced Himself to me and I was born again into a personal relationship with Him. A lost person doesn't have to be an atheist or a Muslim. He can be a pew sitter sitting next to you in church. The Scripture tells us there will be those that say "Didn't we cast out demons and prophesy in your name?" and Jesus will answer," I never knew you". He is obviously speaking to people that believe they are saved church people. It's always a good thing to check your Holy Spirit oil dipstick to make sure that you are what God is looking for. The virgins that lacked enough oil had some, just not enough. They were told to go where they buy and sell and get some. This obviously refers to the End Times with the AntiChrist. How many "Christians" that believe they are saved will be left behind when the Trumpet blows, to face the Beast?

We see the same thing with people like Lady Ga Ga wearing a cross, Madonna doing the same while displaying her filth, Whitney Houston and so forth, somehow believing they are the "real Christians" and preachers and missionaries are somehow deranged delusional quacks. Jesus told us there will be fruit to judge. We can't judge the final judgment of God on their souls, but we are commanded to judge sin, and certainly their fruit. If someone is producing rotten fruit, we have the right, and IMO, the responsibility to sound the alarm if we love these people. We are assigned as Watchmen and their blood will be on our heads if we remain silent. If they don't heed the warning, then their blood will be on their own head. If we accept abortion and sodomy as a kind gesture toward people to feel like we are doing them a favor, we accept their sin on our heads. Romans 1:32 tells us we cannot even agree with the listed sins or we have committed the sins with the sinners. This is the principle that Jesus explained speaking of if you have hate in your heart, you have already committed murder, or lust in your heart, you have committed adultery.

If God has made it clear that sodomy is not acceptable to Him, how are we to agree with it? This explains the fate of Christians in the future. We will be persecuted for the name of Jesus because the country has already decided evil is good and good is evil. Many Christians need to decide right now how they will react when authorities come for them. Jesus told us we must "Hate" various family members to follow Him. Of course He didn't mean for you to hate your wife, but that you are to choose Him over everyone, even a family member. You cannot serve 2 masters. You will love one and hate the other. To accept sin just to go along to get along will not be the response you hoped for "Well done, good and faithful servant." There is MUCH more to belief in God than just believing He exists.

Believes what? You believe that God is One; you do well; the demons also believe and tremble. Doesn't mean he is saved.

I did not express any opinion about whether he was saved or not. I simply made what should be a very obvious observation that he believes in God. I'm not disagreeing with you on whatever else you are adding to the conversation beyond that detail.
