It is clear that all the 10 virgins are believers. The difference between wise and foolish is not in whether they are a virigin (believer) or not (unbeliever). The issue is whether they are foolish or not. The foolish fulfill all the points indicating they are believers except not taking extra oil, are not ready, and therefore are not recognized by the Lord. In addition, nowhwere in the Bible are unbelievers likened to virgins.

The foolish virgins cannot be false believers. The word does not say that. And anytime the word talks about a false believer it tells you he is false or describes clearly how he is false; it does not leave it up to you to decide or figure it out: for example, Judas, "and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him." (Mark 3.19); the "false prophet" in Revelation; what the Antichrist does, the great harlot.

That the Lord does "not know" the foolish virgins does not mean they are unbelievers. God knows all unbelievers: 1) He is omnisicient, so He knows them too. 2.) He created each and every one of them. 3.) the Father, "from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named." Eph. 3:15.

He does not recognize, approve, appreciate the foolish vrigins. They are like an estranged son that neglected his father, left home and shows up years later to try to claim a part of the inheritance. So the father tells him, "no, I donīt even know you anymore."
