The Greek word "BELIEVING" is in the Present Active Participle, which refers to a present active event. If one is not "BELIEVING", that one would not meet the required condition anymore.

Is it possible at some point to not meet the condition of "BELIEVING" anymore? Yes, as Jesus also said for example that some people "ARE-BELIEVING for (a) time, and are-departing in (a) time (of) testing" (Luke 8:13).
