Subject: What does "perish" mean? |
Bible Note: Hello cwade It's always good to work these things out. :-) If by "believe" you mean "saying the right things and going through the motions", then, yes, such a person could do so without repenting. In Simon's case, Scripture says he believed. I must accept it. For Ananias and Sapphira, we don't know either way. Steve |
