It's not enough to believe in god, as the bible says even the devils believe in god. Jesus said pray to god in his name. How can you pray in Jesus' name with someone who doesn't accept Jesus?
I have not known of or ever even heard of a single Christian who thinks it is a sin to eat with people who are not Christian. Not saying these fringe sorts can't possibly exist, but this hardly qualifies as what can be considered any sort of mainstream Christian teaching.
Actually, Paul was not talking about non believers but people who claimed to be a brother or sister but lived the life of a sinner. However, although I admit to be mistaken in that respect, he did mention idolators and a person who worships any god other than Yahweh is an idolator.
Christians and Muslims may claim to worship the god of Abraham, by the time we go through Ishael and Muhammed we get a very different god. Allah and Yahweh are not the same god.
1 Corinthians 5:11 Wrote:But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
