Bible Note: Greetings Mark! Thanks for the response my friend! First of all, let me make clear that I am not a believer in 'Daisy' theology! :-) Christians are not saved by works, nor are they lost because of works! :-) I do believe that Scripture teaches that someone can willfully reject Christ. I would say that this is what Paul has in mind in Gal. 5. He says that they are 'estranged' from Christ and have fallen from grace in Gal. 5:4. Earlier, he said that they were 'turning to another gospel'. I don't believe they had reached the point of willfully rejecting Christ yet, but that they were dangerously close. They were being led astray by a false gospel of works. So, to use your terminology, I think that they were 'falling into false theology' which could then result in them rejecting Christ.
