Dear Brother / Sister,
A person who believes in something that necessitates unbelief becomes an unbeliever. However, we cannot say that a person who utters something that necessitates unbelief becomes an unbeliever. A word/statement may be unbelief but it sometimes does not make a person an unbeliever. He may have uttered that word/statement because of his ignorance, not unbelief.
Unbelief and belief are things related to the heart. If a person who has uttered a word/statement that necessitates unbelief and if his belief has not left his heart, he does not become an unbeliever just because of uttering that word/statement.
