Bible Note: Those you mention in Matthew 7 are never said to have been at any point "in the faith" which makes it unlike 1 Tim. 4:1 where it is said they "shall depart from the faith" The term "the faith" does not signify a mere professed faith, but being singular with the article before it, Paul probably assumed the readers would know which faith he was speaking of. I believe when he said "the faith" (singular)he was talking about the one true faith which is in Christ Jesus. Elsewhere in Scripture Paul says: "there is one Lord, one faith" I think the same thing applys here. Paul in his wriitings was speaking of the one true faith in the one true Lord that saves. Not a mere profession of faith as some believe. Thats the way I see it. I could quote you many verses and portions of Scripture which speak of forfeiting ones faith as being real. Not imagined or hypothetical as many theologians would attempt to have us believe. But rather than post numerous verses which seem to only create added confusion in the discussions, I found it to be better to limit the number of verses in discussions with those who disagree.
