All we have to do is marry a believer...
1 Corinthians 7
12 To the rest I say this I, not the Lord: If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her.
13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him.
14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

No its not saying that a non-believer is safe because they married a believer I says "Otherwise your CHILDREN would be unclean, but as it is, THEY are holy". So it is your CHILDREN who are safe not the husband or wife.

Hehe, doesn't the bible also say that you must not be equally yoked? And by that not stay with a believer... no contradictions indeed.

It appears so, yes. I'm not familiar with that part in particular, but it does make sense--in a marriage, the man and woman become one person (from a spiritual stance).

Yeah but you have to trick them into marrying you first.
Paul already told them not to be yoked with unbelievers.

Aha! I knew there was a reason I married my husband (who is a christian). And all this time I thought it was because he was a hot latin with a nice booty.

Nope... that don't let them off the hook... they still got to come to God in The Way He prescribes... On their own... there is no riding in on any one elses coattails
