How can a person believe the Word of God is true if they are unregenerate? Impossible.

Do they believe Jesus is the Son of God?
The demons are certainly monotheists - which is a step in the right direction (for a person). But that belief is only sufficient to justify fearing God. And even if they believed the whole of Scripture, they are demons. The "good news" is bad news for demons.
