Only believers in Jesus Christ can then accept Jesus Christ.
The Gospel is the power unto salvation not what I accept.
Accepting is reacting to what has already been given you by God.

man him self will not come to christ jesus on his own cuz jesus is everything that man is against . only the holy spirit can bring man to jesus . read the writings of paul in the new testament of the holy bible . this is a question that is more complicated than trying to answer with just a true or false answer. cuz its first true but then when the holy spirit comes it becomes false .

It would depend on what you mean by, unbeliever. Do you mean someone who doesn't believe in God or someone unwilling to believe in Jesus Christ. To "accept Jesus Christ" one does need to first know that there is a God. If there is a God one can then choose to believe or accept Jesus Christ for Who He is.
We are worth a Son to God.

I believe this is a true statement. In fact, why would believers need to "accept" as a result of faith given to them? It is not a transaction that anyone has to "sign for". And that means that neither believer nor unbeliever is involved with accepting Jesus Christ. Either you have faith or you don't.

TRUE.
Unbelievers cannot accept Jesus Christ because they dont believe that he is LORD. (God) Jesus said he is one with the Father many people that even claim to be believers dont believe that. How much more so an unbeliever?

i am not a christian ,but i BELIEVE Jesus was on this earth and was a master teacher i think some of the religous aspects of being the savior and dying for our sins in the context that christians believe is not what i believe .
i respect that this is the way they feel and if it makes them better and makes them live their lives accordingly then Great .....but simply because others have different thoughts and believe differently does not make them prey for all the christians to judge them ........that is the thing i dislike most about organised religion it seems to make people think they are Gods in that they walk around regardless of what a person is really like and simply throw out words like unbelievers ,your going to hell ,this is the way ...judging others .,,,,,,,it is NOT anyones right to think they are special ,,,,my God is about love and the act of trying to be the best that you can and to follow the true law ,,,love god ,,and others like you do yourself .it is the whole law and you can not tell me christians are doing that by pounding into everyone they meet that people MUST think like them ,,,believe like them ,,,,,or ELSE !!!it is merely a very threatening stance ,if christians wanted to really get their message across they would be an example of their religion and in this way bring less aminosity to others .
judging others is the first sin if you ask me ????
anyway some thoughts .

Neither.. anyone who has a problem or has made a mistake has asked the question why believers or not..It's all about NEED it's the one thing everyone on earth has in common living or dead.. The living need the dead to be disposed of be it by burial or cremation to prevent disease and bad smells on the surface of the earth.. The dead need to be put in a place to release souls good or bad.. All creatures great and small have needs to be met in one way or another.. Is life all about a NEED to accept or be accepted?

From a 'believers' point of view, the answer would be true.
From a normal persons view, the answer would be 'Who gives a toss?'
Personally, I don't believe in any of that religion crap. People who spend half their weekend in church are wasting their time. However, being the tolerant unbeliever that I am, I say, "Each to their own". (More room for me on the golf course)

False. I am an unbeliever, because I don't believe in Autumn, it's just propaganda. Furthermost I accept Jesus as historical intelligent man with good ideas. QED you proposition is false.

John 6:44
44"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
God does the saving. Eternal life is given to those who BELIEVE. But it is God who draws man- it is we as believers in Christ who share the good news for:
Romans 10:17 says" Faith comes from hearing, and by hearing the word of God"
God convicts the heart of man, and places faith in Man, for alone we can do NOTHING apart from Jesus Christ- And as Romans 3:10 says "No one is good, not one, No one seeks after God"
--Luke 10:22
"All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."
-Amen!

What's your definition of an "unbeliever"? I believe in God but I don't accept the idea that Jesus was God.
