Yes, it harms the non-zealot.
It might be better for the "born-again" Christian to actually study the history of the Church and become a mainstream Christian, then everyone would be better off.
Kind regards,

PS Sharon, I disagree. Born again Christianity is less than 200 years old -- it is an outgrowth of the fundamentalist response to German Higher Criticism. Born again Christianity is a distinct, and new religious faith -- despite all the attempts to patch it into the overall Church world.

I take issue with your classification of a born again Christian as a religious zealot. That's just not true. And, Biblically, to be a christian you must be born again.
So, in answer to your question, two Christians can marry even if one is more devout than the other.

A Christian who is not born-again is a Christian who still lives according to the impulses of the flesh.
It is far better if the couple that is getting married has a common relationship with the Lord.

people who confess Christ and are born lower back can purely be so as quickly as. in the event that they become disapproved in some way via committing extreme sin, the practice of sin - possibly, then they become damned for all eternity. regrettably, some who declare to be born lower back - may be flawed. some who declare this proceed to stay in sin, committing immorality with abandon, and so on. those forget approximately that people who stay in sin are the babies of the devil. a million John 3: the single that does what's physically powerful is righteous, purely as he's righteous. 8 the single that does what's sinful is of the devil, because of the fact the devil has been sinning from the start. the rationalization the Son of God regarded became to break the devil’s artwork. 9 no person that is born of God will proceed to sin, because of the fact God’s seed continues to be in them; they can't bypass on sinning, because of the fact they have been born of God. 10 it is how all of us recognize who the babies of God are and who the babies of the devil are: every physique who would not do what's physically powerful isn't God’s baby, neither is every physique who would not love their brother and sister. --- As to the classes of different religions, people have faith what they like to. this would not make it the actuality. in actuality interior the pudding. And, Jesus gave us all the evidence we would have liked with the works he provided us with.

The only time it's wrong to date someone from another religion or sect is if you're going to be antagonistic about it. In other words, if you're going to pressure that person to change or say mean things like "You're going to go to hell".
My sister-in-law used to work in a Baptist church but wasn't Baptist. After a while all the staff members kept after her to convert. They told her over and over again she would go to hell if she didn't - so she quit. They were shocked because they thought they were trying to help her. Trust me, no one sees "You're going to hell" in a helpful light.
So, if you can accept the object of your affection AS IS then go for it. In fact, that's always good advice about starting any relationship.

You mean is a active faithful church member who does everything in the church and soul wins .. marries a person who goes to church just one Sundays or every other Sunday. Well if they are both saved they can get married; but I would think that the non faithful will hold the other back from serving the Lord. So pray for that person and talk to them.

Religion should be the last thing on your mind when dating someone. This subject should be reserved for marriage. Just have fun and enjoy the person that you're with. Get to know the person first. Then if it becomes serious you can discuss your beliefs.

No, it's not wrong. Their relationship with God is between them and God. If they're a Christian, and you're a Christian, then it's all good.

"Wrong" depends on who you're asking. I doubt a born-again Christian would be interested in someone who wasn't as rabid about the faith as he/she is.

Yes it's okay for Christains to date anyone not matter what the religous or non religous group the other person belongs too.
