Joe,
To add to the list--and I have hesitated because the term "damnable/destructive heresies" rather than "apostasies" is used in the passage, but the passage seems to be referring to something much stronger than an individual wrong opinion--2 Peter 2 came to mind, which gets more particular than Jude about the false teacher's marks:
v.1 secret introduction of destructive heresies -- ie not approved by the church (contrast Paul going to Jerusalem)
v.1 denying the sovereign Lord who bought them -- at the root of all apostasy is a trust in self-righteousness rather than the righteousness of Christ
v.2 followed by many -- they find it easy to draw crowds, sell many books, etc.
v2. bring way of truth into disrepute -- their behavior brings reproach on true believers
v.3 greedy -- selfishly motivated
v.3 stories they have made up -- they always bring a "new teaching" revealed first to them
v.10 despise authority -- they resist admonition and correction by the church
v12 blaspheme in matters they do not understand -- imagining thermselves to have authority to speak in God's name though they know him not
v.13-14 carouse, reveling in pleasure, eyes full of adultery -- they are self-indulgent, imagining themselves above the moral law
v.18-19 with boastful words they promise freedom -- having denied the Lord, they proffer a false gospel of their own making, which gratifies the flesh rather than putting it to death
In Christ, Paul S
