No, not exactly. I believe that many who believe have not yet received the Holy Spirit. Remember Philip preaching in Samaria? In the context of our discussion, however, I would say that if you have a group of individuals that you consider to be believers, and the Word of God begins to cause a division among them, then some of those individuals are not true believers. The Word of God unites believers and divides them from unbelievers. If the Word of God is polarizing people, be sure that there are unbelievers in the midst. That means some need to be exhorted to repent. Peace be with you.
