Jesus said in the parable of the sower:

Mark 4:16 (Luke 8:13) "And in a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; (they believe for a while) and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.

Question 1:

Mark 4:16 & Luke 8:13

receive it with joy

believe for a while

I don't believe that they completely fell away

Had they completely fallen away?

Mark 4:16 & Luke 8:13

no firm root in themselves

only temporary

when affliction or persecution arises

immediately they fall away
