Revelation 2:6
But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
According to the writings of the early church leaders, Nicolas (one of the seven original deacons of the church in the book of Acts!) came to teach a doctrine of compromise, implying that total separation between Christianity and the practice of occult paganism was not essential.
Here was a man chosen as a deacon because he was “full of the Holy Spirit”, and yet he fell away.
Doesn’t this call into question the so-called doctrine of eternal security?
