摘要:

约一2
19. 他们从我们中间出去，却不是属我们的。若是属我们的，就必仍旧与我们同在。他们出去，显明都不是属我们的。 19. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.
   

这里约翰定义的真信徒必须是忍耐持守信的人，却不等于说以前一定就是假信徒或名义信徒! 

那些离开教会(我们)的人

1。以前是假信徒或名义信徒的可能性不排除，

2。但也排除不了以前确实信主被耶稣救赎的信徒也可能包括在敌基督之列，如彼得所说的假师傅。
