  5. He is robbing God (Malachi 3:8, 1 Corinthians 16:2).
  6. His condition is worse than an alien sinner (2 Peter 2:20-21).
  7. His is like the foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-13).

  14. He is failing to glorify God (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
  15. He is ignoring Jesus' command to observe the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:24), and fails to show forth the Lord's death (v. 26).
  16. He is blind, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins (2 Peter 1:9).
  17. He has drawn back into perdition (Hebrews 10:38).

  19. He is walking disorderly (not according to prescribed rules - 2 Thessalonians 3:6).
  20. The final results will be judgment and fiery indignation (Hebrews 10:27).
