1 Timothy 4:1 “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.”
When the scripture, in first Timothy quoted above, says that some will depart from the faith, it is referring to those who believe in Jesus and are part of His kingdom. It is these believers that will depart from the faith. Those who fall away from following Christ will not be imposters pretending to be Christians. For one cannot depart from, or fall away from, that which they were never part of in the first place. So what will be the cause of this event called the falling away? The main cause will be an increase in false teachings and false doctrines that will be brought into the church. For the Holy Spirit clearly tells us that those who give heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, will be the ones who will depart from the faith in the last days.
