What are the characteristics of a Neo-Gnostic believer?
Answered in 1 source
Neo-Gnostic believers often focus on knowledge over faith, lack community, and criticize others instead of edifying.
A Neo-Gnostic believer tends to prioritize a rigorous intellectual understanding of the faith, often leading to a proud disposition rather than a humble pursuit of truth. This mindset manifests in a fixation on critiquing others and a lack of compassion and community engagement. Such individuals frequently post about perceived errors in teachings and engage in combative discussions, missing the vital aspects of love and unity that the Gospel promotes (1 Timothy 6:4). Additionally, their reluctance to gather with other believers (Hebrews 10:25) reflects a disconnect from the communal nature of faith, emphasizing personal knowledge rather than collective growth in grace and truth.
