Word for the Week |
APOSTASY (a-pos ta-sy) Is the act of rebellion against, forsaking, abandoning, or falling away from what one has believed. Backsliding leads to apostasy. Some reasons for backsliding are: 1) Absence of spiritual leaders 2) Evil associations 3) Worldly success 4) Love of the world 5) Shallowness
2000 Baptist Faith and Message
All true believers endure to the end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit, will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end. Believers may fall into sin through neglect and temptation, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, and bring reproach on the cause of Christ and temporal judgments on themselves; yet they shall be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation. |
