Turning them into articles of trade is to hold a slippery rope that slides deeper and deeper into the abyss of eternal ruin, unless you come to your senses immediately and repent!

True Believers and False Professors

The vast majority of latter day false prophets are these last categories who abuse God-given spiritual gifts or operate directly under the influence of Satan. He taught a universal fundamental truth that before every fake copy of anything currency, receipt or certificate there is first an original true copy. God gave Israel the law that prohibited adultery, bestiality, incest and intermarriages with idolatrous nations in order to raise and preserve godly descendants for Abraham. Crave for sweatless pleasure and wealth more than God makes them easy prey to false prophets and not even government can stop people from going after them.

Way of escape Jesus died to deliver us from this present evil age Galatians 1: Just as each family sacrificed a lamb during the Exodus, the responsibility of salvation trickles down to the family. God commanded Israelites to teach each other and their children even when they had priests. Paul commended Jewish believers in Berea for searching the scriptures. Rather than lamenting about preachers, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Teach and exhort each other, lay hands on the sick, cast out demons, prophesy not to go after false prophets, unless they are mere make-believers!

Print A A A. He certainly addresses his epistle to believers only: They share the same "precious faith" and "righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ" 1: After that affirming introduction, Peter exhorts the readers to add to their initial faith godly virtues 1: These Christian readers need to be warned about the false teachers and their seduction of those not saved 2: After describing the doom of the false teachers and their unsaved followers, Peter directs his attention to this third group in verse The change in address is clear.

After indicting the false teachers in every verse from verse 10 through 17, the indictments stop abruptly. In verse 18 and 19 Peter describes how the false teachers seduce gullible believers. The victims are described as "the ones who have actually escaped from those who live in error. The potential victims are contrasted with those unbelievers in verse 2 who do not escape the false teachers.

When Peter speaks of the fate of the believing readers who could be influenced by the false teachers, he speaks in terms of possibility, not certainty. The "they" in verse 20 refers to those potential victims of verses Nevertheless, it is a real warning about real consequences. As believers, they have "escaped the pollution of the world through the knowledge of The Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" v. The fact that they can be "again entangled" in the world's pollution means that they had once been, but had escaped v.

Their fate, described by the two contemporary proverbs cited in verse 22, requires that the dog had once left its vomit, and the pig was once washed. So, we see a shift in Peter's address. He writes to this group of believers to warn them of the unsaved false teachers among them who will be destroyed and have led others to the same fate vv. Then in verse 18 he addresses the believers who are also coming under the influence of the false teachers.

These believers face a terrible fate, but it is not specified as destruction or hell, only that their "latter end is worse for them than the beginning" v. Whatever struggles or trials they endured as new Christians will fade in comparison to the trouble that awaits them perhaps temporally, or at the Judgment Seat of Christ, or both. Peter says it would have been better if they had not known "the way of righteousness" than to turn from "the holy commandment delivered to them" v. Peter is not saying that it would be better if they had never been saved.

He is saying that it would be better if they had not known the teaching about the life of righteousness implying that because they do, they have a greater responsibility to follow it. The text indicates that this life of righteousness is defined by living according to "the holy commandment delivered to them.

Apparently it is not related to any command to believe or be saved, as that would be an unusual and unprecedented way of referring to salvation. It is likely the command to be holy 1 Pet.

It is naive to say that true Christians will not follow false doctrine. Like Peter, the other New Testament authors were not convinced of such a notion—see their epistles which contain many warnings to Christians about staying in the truth.

Or, ask any pastor of tenure who has seen Christians come and go with the strangest of doctrines.
