By 2 Tim. 2:17-18, Hymenaeus had swerved from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already happened. His talk was capable of spreading like gangrene, and was upsetting the faith of some.

Eternal security of the believer?


Yes, for those who keep the faith!

Eternal security?
Yes ! once they get to eternity!
