One of the major tragedies of immaturity is drowning in seas of unstable, ever changing doctrine. When Paul admonished and warned about immaturity, he specifically used the word “infants” or “babies” or as in the NLT below, “children” being tossed around by winds & waves of varying doctrines. Ephesians 4:14 “Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.” So we can safely say that if we do not choose to grow up, we remain “lightweights” and we’ll eventually be lost in an ocean of confusion, lies, deceits & spiritual schemes of false believers.
