Subject: Christians Apostate Same As Anit-Christ? |
Bible Note: Cody Mac Thanks for the input. I see exactly what you are saying about the difference between apostasy and being of the spirit of the Anti-Christ. I got to thinking about what Jude says in 1:22, 23 about having mercy on some who doubt, save others snatching them out of the fire, and on some to have mercy with fear. And what I thought was that those who are apostate it may be possible to pull back to the faith because they have gone dangerously astray due to false teaching or doctrine, and that these are all apostate. This would make them believers who went wrong, but if they never come back were they ever saved? But that those who believe that Jesus is not God, these are the ones with the spirit of the Anti-Christ and they cannot be pulled back from something they were never truly a part of, the body of Christ. blessings abound, bowler |
