In the same way as Israel turned back to Egypt in their hearts (Acts 7:39) and reverted to a life of flesh-pleasing and false doctrine, so those who have been "saved" from sin by baptism can likewise fall away from the blessed position in which they stand.
Kwa njia iyo hiyo kiasi kwamba Israel aligeuka nyuma kurudi Misri kwa mioyo yao (Matendo 7:39) na kurudia hali ya kwanza kwenye maisha ya kuufuata mwili na mafunzo potofu, hivyo hao walio "okolewa" toka dhambi kwa ubatizo wanaweza vivyo hivyo kugeuka toka kwenye nafasi yenye baraka ambayo wanasimama.
