DEMUS

• A Christian, Col. 4:14; Philemon 24

• Love world - forsook Paul - 2 Tim. 4:10

• To love world = enemy of God, 1 John 2:15

SIMON THE SORCERER - ACTS 8

• Believed (same as other Samaritans)

• Baptized (hence forgiven, Acts 2:38, saved - Mark 16:16)

• IN gall of bitterness and bondage of sin....

PARABLE OF SOWER

• Luke 8:13 - some believed for awhile - then fell away.

2 PETER 2:19-22

• Escaped through knowledge of Christ.

• Know right way of the Lord.

• Turn from the holy commandment.

• AGAIN, entangled and overcome

• Better to NOT know the way ...

• IT HAS HAPPENED -

(Yes it speaks of 'sow' - but that sow was WASHED - then returned to mud.)
