Chapter 3 Conclusion

Balaam was a true prophet who was later convicted as a false prophet under (Deut. 4:2) and (Deut. 13:1-5). Balaam truly had the Holy Spirit when he blessed Israel and gave the Star Prophecy of Messiah. Moses expressly says so. Yet, Balaam is an apostate and lost. The Bible, through Moses and Jesus, tells us this too. Balaam's error was later telling Israel they could eat meat sacrificed to idols and they could commit fornication. (Rev. 2:14). He diminished the Law. (Deut. 4:2).

The story of Balaam is proof that we cannot just assume that if someone like Paul gave a true prophecy one time that he has passed every test or that he can never apostasize later.
