Loss of momentum and losing your first love leads to Apostasy.
Apostasy is disaffliation from what you believe; it is embracing an opinion contrary to your previous belief; it is neglecting your spiritual disciplines.; it is turning away and abandonment from your church; It is neglecting the relationship, the communion you once had with God.
When you lose your love for the TRUTH, when you begin to shrug off conviction, all you really want is a cover for your sin.
Apostates seek to find a covering outside the covering of the church and once they have separated
members should have no dealings with apostates.
Listen to the Word
Romans 16; 17-18 Now I beseech you brethren, mark them diligently which cause division and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them. 18 For they that are such, serve not the Lord Jesus but their own bellies, and with fair Speech and flattering deceive the hearts of the simple.
Conversations will consist of subtle reasonings claiming that what you believe is not the truth.
If you feel like this won't affect you because you are strong in the faith and truth and you have nothing to fear...Listen to the word
1 Corinthians 10:12 Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]
You are not aware of the spirit this person - the spirit that caused them to leave the covering is working in them to pull you out as well. You cannot spend quality time or interject yourselves into groups [exposig yourselves to various spirits] in order to win them back.
The spirit that caused them to leave the covering is now working through them to pull you out as well. Entertaining their subtle reasonings can cause you to fall prey to questioning and doubt.
Listen to the word
1 Thessalonians 2:2-3 That ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, nor troubled neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as it were from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that-that man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition.
Luke 8:13; Matt 13:21
*2 John 9-11
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
When you abandon your church because of self-will/self-righteousness because of the truth this is apostasy (If the apostates you entertain were the same they would not have left and or things would have been done decent and in order)
Listen to the word)
1 John 2:18-19 Little Children, it is the last time, and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now there are many Antichrists: whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they should have continued with us. But this cometh to pass, that it might appear, that they are not all of us.
2 Tim 4:3 When you abandon the faith shortly after receiving salvation to go back into the world this is backsliding.
When you continue to walk with someone after they have abandoned the Faith: Not only do you jeopardize your own faith but you are walking with the dead... someone who has flatlined spiritually because they have deviated from the normal pattern and separated from the heartbeat of the church
It is not for you to keep pleading with someone who has departed from the faith or from the church; they have made their decision. If they do not receive you
Shake the Dust off your feet Matthew 10:14
Do not allow someone else to defile you or else you become like them lead away by compromise, entertaining debates and/or the lusts of your flesh.
BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING!!!!!
