Does God answer unbelievers' prayers? Mike sees no biblical rule preventing it. Jesus healed people who were apparently unrepentant (John 5:14 — "sin no more lest something worse happen" implies the healed man was still in sin). God may answer unbelievers' prayers to show them he's real — but he's not a get-out-of-jail-free card for those who keep living in rebellion.
God answering unbelievers' prayers
No biblical text says God cannot respond to unbelievers. John 5:14: Jesus healed a man and then warned him to stop sinning — implying he was still in a sinful state when healed. God sometimes answers to reveal himself. But he knows hearts — those using God as an escape while continuing in evil won't find him compliant.
