The Bible shows us that apostates are people who made professions of faith in Jesus Christ but never genuinely received Him as Savior. <br /><br />They were pretend believers who turned away from Christ and never really trusted Him to begin with.<br /><br />1 John 2: 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.<br />
