For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. |
I haven't read the whole thread so if someone has brought this thought please forgive me.
A person that backslides does not leave the principals of truth, they just live in sin. They are still a child of God but lost.
II Peter 2:20-21 is not talking about a backslider but someone who leaves truth to follow false doctrine.
