Into the Fire

     Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come.

     . . . 

     But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist – he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 

1 John 2:18,20-23 (NIV)
