An agnostic doesn't believe it's possible to know if god exists. A gnostic thinks it's possible.

Agnosticism is about knowing, atheism about beleiving. So if you don't know if god exists but firmly believe the idea is a load of crap you're an agnostic and an atheist.

To be pedantic, gnosticism is a christian sect from the first centuries BC. γνῶσῐς means "knowledge", which is where the word agnostic comes from, but the term "gnostic" was already spoken for so to speak.
