The scriptures call this obedience. It is not simply a matter of believer/unbeliever.
It is the duty of the believer.

1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by
the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that "Jesus is Lord "
except by the Holy Spirit.

Lord is a title used by a servant to address his master.
You can believe, but will you serve Him?


Romans 1:5
Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience
to the faith among all nations
for His name.

1 Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves declare concerning us what
manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God.

Hebrews 12:28
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken,
let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love
the other,
or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve
God and mammon.


Luke 17:10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, We are unprofitable servants.
We have done what was our duty to do.

What about false teachers? Does this mean that the Holy Spirit allows them to claim it?

Anyone can read a Bible and talk a good Jesus. Clearly the Holy Spirit does not prevent this,
but He instructs those who abide in Him.

John 16:13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into All Truth;
for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will
tell you things to come.

How can you even know that someone is a false teacher?
By knowing The Lord, who is the Spirit of Truth.

What a great lesson for employees as well.
