Ok, so we have apostasy identified (and more are welcome) by:

Wes as;

Quote
Hebrews 6 describes apostasy as a public rejection of a faith once confessed. According to Hebrews 6:4-8 and 10:26 this kind of falling away is irreversible
John_C, in the form of a question, as;

Quote
it where a person rejects that Jesus is Divine and salvation is only through Him alone? (it includes those who rejects that Jesus is man as well).
li0scc0 quoting Jeremiah as;

Quote
He tells us that apostasy is replacing the message of God’s Grace ("living waters") with a message of human works ("broken cisterns" that they have "hewed out themselves"). In the case of many churches, it is transfering the focus from Christ to man.


and finally (but not least) by, Johnnie_Burgess as;

Maybe when they can be shown that their views have been rejected by the Church for many years and they decide that this does not matter and still hold on to their views..

with Joe K responding, “This cannot be the barometer. Tradition is to be a guide, not an infallible decree.”
Now taking what we know about apostates, heresy, (and let’s add blasphemy of the Holy Spirit to this) describe this person’s assorted logic, beliefs, and actions. Put another way can we come up with a list of things to identify this person or are we just hopeless in ever being able to identify them? What line(s) does a person cross to be declared (1) a heretic, (2) an apostate, (3) blaspheming the Holy Spirit?
