To theist, atheist, and non theist.

Technically, I think atheist is equal to non-theist, and theist is an incomplete term in need of further definition.
Many religions like Christianity hold to the contrary beliefs that God is everywhere and all-powerful, but also a personal (humanoid?) deity.
The idea of God, if relevant, may only exist in our minds as a person if we relate God to a human we can imagine. Under such circumstances, one can only begin to know God through a psychic medium.
One begins to wonder, if I created this universe, why would I choose a form to inhabit? Curiousity?
It seems like that God would have unnecessary limitations, and that omnipotence and omnipresence would likewise be irrelevant.
Infinity cannot have limits other than the definition that the members of its defining subset place upon it.
Religion creates God in mankind's own image. Creative mathematics can define a reality that could in theory be omniscient and omnipresent, which means the concept of a Creator has a better chance of existing by reason than by faith alone.
The argument must begin with creation... Did the creator exist within this universe only when it was created, or does this universe have a parent universe? This may help you decide whether or not God is infinite.
If God is everywhere, then God is in our every thought, creating our life as we observe it. God acts like a person because We are persons.

No. God lives in Infinity, and He is Infinite, but He is not Infinity... Infinity is the opposite of time, and is more so a measurement of space.

Intinity & eternity eliminate the need for or possiblity of a creator God existing.

Non-christian theist (pantheist): yes. God is all yet transcends all.

God is infinite not infinity.

No. Infinity and its derivates (negative infinity, countable infinity, uncountable infinity) are strictly mathematical constructs.

Can we find an explanation of the great universe? Is there any convincing interpretation of the secret of existence? We realize that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperously exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a leader of some kind. We also realize that nothing comes into being on its own. Moreover, we observe that the universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousand of years. Can we then say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to mere chance?
Man represents only a very small portion of the great universe. And if he can make plans and appreciate the merits of planning, then his own existence and the survival of the universe must also be a planned policy. This means that there is an extraordinary power to bring things into being and keep them moving in order.
In the world then must be a great force in action to keep everything in order. In the beautiful nature there must be a Great creator who creates the most charming pieces of art produces every thing for a special purpose in life. The deeply enlightened people recognize this creator and call him Allah "God". He is not a man because no man can create or make another man. He is not an animal, nor he is a plant. He is neither an Idol nor is He a statue of any kind because non of these things can make itself or create anything else. He is different from all these things because he is the maker and keeper of them all. The maker of anything must be different from and greater than things which he makes.
There are various ways to know God "ALLAH'' and there are many things to tell about him. The great wonders and impressive marvels of the world are like open books in which we can read about God. Besides, God Himself comes to our aid through the many Messengers and revelations He has sent down to man. These Messengers and revelations tell us everything we need to know about God.
The complete acceptance of the teachings and guidance of God 'Allah' as revealed to His Messengers Muhammad is the religion of Islam. Islam enjoins faith in the oneness and sovereignty of Allah, which makes man aware of meaningfulness of the Universe and of his place in it. This belief frees him from all fears and superstitions by making him conscious of the presence of the Almighty Allah and of man's obligations towards Him. This faith must be expressed and tested in actions, faith alone is not enough. Belief in one God requires that we look upon all humanity as one family under the universal Omnipotence of God the Creator and Nourisher of all. Islam rejects the idea of chosen people, making belief in God and good actions the only way to heaven. Thus, a direct relationship in established with God, without any intercessor.
Islam is not a new religion. It is, in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all Prophets. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, David, Moses and Jesus (PBUT). But the message which was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (PBUT) is Islam in its comprehensive, complete and final form.
The Quran is the last revealed word of Allah and the basic source of Islamic teachings and laws. The Quran deals with the basis of creeds, morality, history of humanity, worship, knowledge, wisdom, God-man relationship, and human relationship in all aspects. Comprehensive teaching on which, can be built sound systems of social justice, economics, politics, legislation, jurisprudence, law and international relations, are important contents of the Quran. Hadith, the teachings, sayings and actions of Prophet Mohammed (PBUT), meticulously reported and collected by his devoted companions. Explained and elaborated the Quranic verses.

God is forever or never ending. There is no beginning or end to Him. And if you refer to the first book of the bible (Genesis) it states "In the beginning" , He means the beginning of man and the earth we know, not the beginning of Him. He is the creator and was not created.
