Hey,
Does this article touch on what you are asking? http://thirdmill.org/newfiles/joh_frame/Frame.Apologetics2004.UnregenerateKnowledgeofGod.pdf

You may need to clarify where you are coming from with your question....

I'm taking it that you mean....is it better to be a heathen than taught the word of God but lacking true conversion.....

then the answer would be yes....those who hear but remain at enmity will be beaten with more stripes....

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
