overcomers, which in effect, God labels as unbelievers. That’s why Paul said: “Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know you not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except you be reprobates?” (II Cor. 13:5). As is obvious in this Passage, one is either “in the faith,” or else he is a “reprobate.” “Reprobate” in the Greek is, “adokimos,” and means, “unapproved, worthless, rejected, castaway.” So how does one guarantee one’s position as an overcomer?
