It is clear from the Bible that apostates are people who made professions of faith in Jesus Christ but never genuinely received Him as Savior.
Kwa maneno mengine, kumfuata Yesu ni zaidi ya kusema wewe ni Mkristo. Mtu yeyote anaweza kudai Kristo kama Mwokozi, lakini wale ambao kweli wameokolewa huzaa matunda yanayoonekana.
