The Ruling on One Who Claims to Be an Infidel in Jest

Question
What is the ruling on someone who says about himself, 'I am an infidel,' in jest or falsely and does not believe that?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: He should be feared for disbelief; therefore, he must avoid such expressions, and God knows best.
