There are two types of Jivas : religious and demonic. Have they always been like this since eternity, or have they become like this due to association?

BG 14.3: The total material substance, called Brahman, is the source of birth, and it is that Brahman that I impregnate, making possible the births of all living beings, O son of Bharata.
BG 14.4: It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kuntī, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.
BG 14.5: Material nature consists of three modes — goodness, passion and ignorance. When the eternal living entity comes in contact with nature, O mighty-armed Arjuna, he becomes conditioned by these modes.
BG 15.7: The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.
Hare Krishna, Prabhuji ....
Jivas are of only one kind, when jiva come-in contact with material nature it become condition by the three modes of material nature, and due to this association with nature jiva transmigrate in various species of life from time eternity.
Divine & Demonic are the nature associated with the modes of nature ....
When the modes of Goodness is dominating, Divine nature is seen in Jivas.
When modes of passion & ignorance are dominated, Demonic nature is seen in Jivas
By birth also, these modes are dominating, this is due to the impression of previous birth.
BG 16.5: The transcendental qualities are conducive to liberation, whereas the demoniac qualities make for bondage. Do not worry, O son of Pāṇḍu, for you are born with the divine qualities.
