Apostasy, Summary: Apostasy, "falling away," is the act of professed Christians who deliberately reject revealed truth
(1) as to the deity of Jesus Christ, and
(2) redemption through His atoning and redeeming sacrifice 1 John 4:1–3; Phil 3:18; 2 Pet 2:1. Apostasy differs from error concerning truth, which may be the result of ignorance Acts 19:1–6 or heresy, which may be due to the sphere of Satan 2 Tim 2:25; 2 Tim 2:26 both of which may consist with true faith. The apostate is perfectly described in 2 Tim 4:3; 2 Tim 4:4. Apostates depart from the faith, but not from the outward profession of Christianity 2 Tim 3:5. Apostate teachers are described in; 2 Tim 4:3; 2 Pet 2:1–19; Jude 1:4; Jude 1:8; Jude 1:11–13; Jude 1:16.
Apostasy in the church, as in Israel Isa 1:5; Isa 1:6; Isa 5:5–7 is irremediable, and awaits judgment; 2 Thess 2:10–12; 2 Pet 2:17; 2 Pet 2:21; Jude 1:11–15; Rev 3:14–16.
