Religions call them "New Age". It is spiritual without the governance of a church. There are many people that light the path for this way of belief. One of the greatest is Neale Donald Walsch who was inspired to write the book 'Conversations with God'. Two more are Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra. They have each written many books on the subject. There are many, many more. They believe that everyone goes to heaven, even Hitler. Hitler thought that he was doing the right thing. They believe that everyone should worship the way that is best for them. If that is with a church, that is great. If not, that is great too. Whatever brings you closest to God. They believe that we are here to have a spiritual life, free of judgment and rules, yet the way of the spirit is love, joy and truth and everything flows from either this or fear. Love is the best/easiest way. God helps us know if we are being loving or fearful. Make sense?

People who truly believe in God usually won't follow unspoken rules that are man-made unless they have problems. Usually a dogmatic church, which is actually a secular church, imposes or takes advantage of personal or acknowledged family situations in the name of power and greed. This clearly has nothing to do with spiritual guidance and everything to do with fighting and not living in the truth.
Those who walk away from these types of churches have been called spiritual orphans but are they really? Walking away from a church because something bizzarre is going on does not mean walking away from belief in God. In fact a true Christian will have nothing of the sort to do with cult-like churches especially if they have made an attempt to discuss it and are ignored. I am not sure churches of today will ever learn their lesson on the issue of allowing secular belief in the church...it's obviously too enticing with all that false sense of power and what not. Churches should never mirror that of which is without God and also have no business complaining about people not going to church at that point.

How do you know that they do not follow any rules. Maybe they don't follow your rules or "gods" rules but perhaps they have their own rules. Do you know what is in this persons mind?
Maybe they are searching for what they believe. There was a period of time that I believed in god but had "issues" and was not yet at the point of not believing, but I was on my way.

Today some would call that person "spiritual." The spiritual person says one does not need religion (and by religion they mean a set of doctrines that one tries to get others to believe). Then the "spiritual" person goes and tells everyone else that "religion" is bad and that everyone should just be "spiritual." So, in agreement with one of the answers above, the person who believes in God but not in rules is a hypocrite (in the real mean of the greek word... one who is "under critical") because they fail to see that "not following any rules" is a rule, and it is even one, which they try to promote even after they criticize religion for promoting its rules.

A person who believes in God is religious by definition.
You mean someone who establishes his/her own rules on the basis of personal reflection, instead of adopting other people's rules? A freethinker, a dissenter, a religious liberal.

Hmmm... "What do you call a individual who believes there's a God yet has no faith?" i think of the observe which you're searching for for is 'at a loss for words'. in case you 'have faith' (the phantasm of know-how) in (a) God, you're... by means of DEFINITION... 'non secular'. it'd be risk-free to declare which you 'have faith' in God... or say which you're 'non secular'... yet do no longer ascribe to any prepared faith, or cleave to any particular dogma or doctrine. that would appear like semantic 'observe-video games' to a pair... even though it relatively isn't any longer. If we gained't agree on what words mean, then we won't be able to communicate effectively. between the dumbest issues that i've got ever heard... and save on listening to is "Christianity isn't a 'faith'... it relatively is a dating with God (or Jesus)." i'm consistently surprised that folk can (allegedly) 'think of' like that... and be MANIPULATED like that... devoid of having their heads explode. P.S.: it would not be incorrect to declare you're a 'deist'. you would be 'non secular' (you suspect in some style of 'god')... yet 'deism' isn't a 'faith', consistent with se. P.P.S.: Pat... you're thoroughly incorrect. An 'agnostic' would not 'have faith in God', in any way, shape, or form. For an agnostic (or a minimum of for the few people who certainly understand what 'agnostic' ability), the very seen 'concept' is stupid and beside the point. You the two understand something, or you do no longer. in case you do no longer understand, then you definately are no longer able to make a logically-justifiable assertion with appreciate to the 'actuality fee' of appropriate propositions. As a logical effect of that stance, you do no longer 'have faith' that god(s) exist... which takes place to be an actual tournament with what defines an 'atheist'. So... ALL agnostics are atheists... yet no longer ALL atheists are agnostics. once you get actual right down to it, 'agnosticism' could be suitable understood as a reason... an 'psychological foundation' for BEING an 'atheist'... no longer some element it relatively is break free 'atheist'.

Its is not good because . if u want some one to show the love then u must would feel him like this way. i mean you will show some reaction to that person. that can be his/her serving. or to give him alots of flowers or what ever in which u considere that he/she would impress.
now like wise Believe in God is okay but to show him that u really love him and obey him u must do some practically work for him that is prayers . do charity and others things so that you show some thing to him
So faith is nothing without practicle.
