Apostasy
Can a Christian Fall Away? Is It Possible for Me to Lose My Salvation? Scripture’s Warnings Against Apostasy
Apostasy is falling away from the Christian faith. Scripture warns against it and calls every believer to hold fast to Christ. Learn the warning signs of falling away and how Scripture answers the modern deconstruction movement.
Apostasy is not merely backsliding or a season of struggle. It is a deliberate turning away from Christ and the gospel by someone who once professed to believe. Scripture warns about it often, and it foretells a great falling away in the last days.
Those who are truly born again will persevere, because God keeps them. Those who fall away and never return show that they were never truly His. That is why Scripture’s warnings are given to every professing Christian: to examine ourselves, hold fast to Christ, and not drift away.
Today, apostasy often goes by the name “deconstruction,” questioning and then abandoning the faith. The instructional videos on this page explain what apostasy is, how to recognize it, and how Scripture answers the deconstruction movement.

“Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
“It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age— and then have fallen away—to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame. For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned.” Hebrews 6:4-8
