     a. A man cannot thrust away a faith that he never had, nor a good conscience that he never possessed, nor shipwreck a faith that never existed.
     b. A conscience that had never been pure could not be corrupted; a faith never could not be cast away; and faith that never had been established in the heart could not be shipwrecked.
     c. Of those guilty -- Paul calls two of them by name -- and declares that he had "delivered them to Satan."
     d. Is that Paul's way of saying they went to heaven????
3. 1 Timothy 6:10, 21 - Some have erred from the faith.
4. 1 Timothy 5:8 - Some have denied the faith, and are worse than an infidel.
5. 1 Timothy 5:15 - Some have already turned aside after Satan.

NOTE: The word "FAITH" in all of these passages is the same Greek word which is found in Romans 5:1 "Justified by faith" and in 2 Timothy 4:7 "I have kept the faith" and in all the verses that refer to the faith that saves.
