Ways of Backsliders…4

Commit fornication

1 Corinthians 10:8  

We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died.

Tempt Christ

1 Corinthians 10:9  

We should not test the Lord, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes.

Murmur

1 Corinthians 10:10  

And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

Become filled with debates, envying’s, wraths, strife’s, backslidings, whisperings, swellings, tumults

2 Corinthians 12:20-21  

20 For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. 

21 I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have indulged.

Remove from Christ

Galatians 1:6-8  

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—

7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

Disobey truth

Galatians 3:1  

You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.
