They Went Out From Us - 1 John 2:18-27

Oftentimes this passage of Scripture is used to describe those who merely slack off attending church services. However, the Apostle John is saying so much more to the church in these verses as he describes the dark motivations of false teachers.

The comfort afforded in this passage is glorious: God's people have been given an anointing from the Holy Spirit, the power to know the Gospel (or a counterfeit) when they hear it.
