There are several Greek words whether in the form of nouns or verbs which pertain to the words "fall," "fallen," "falling," "fell."
The first Greek word is "ptosis," and is used as a metaphor by Luke in the spiritual fall of those in Israel who would reject Christ.
Luke 2:34
"And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;"
Another is "paraptoma," and refers to the sin and downfall of Israel in their refusal to acknowledge God's claim of His Christ. By this refusal the offer of salvation was made to the Gentiles.
Rom. 11:11-12
"I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?"
"Apostasia" means a defection, revolt, or apostasy, and literally means "a falling away from the faith," which is falling away from Christ.
2 Thes, 2:3
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;"
"Ekpipto," refers to falling from Grace due to placing dependence in the Law/works. The act of departing from Christ back to works.
Gal. 5:4
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
"Peripipto," is another Greek word which means "a falling away from the realities and facts of the faith."
Heb. 6:6
"If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame."
"Aphistemi," means to apostatize, which again refers to falling away from the faith.
1 Tim. 4:1
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;"
Heb. 3:12
"Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God."
"Parabaino," means to fall away as did Judas Iscariot.
Acts 1:25
"That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place."
"Pipto," refers to Revelation 2:5, and speaks of one falling from his First Love (faith in Christ) and refusing to repent.
"Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."
All of these Greek words that refer to "fall," "fallen," "falling." and "fell," speak of departing from Christ, and directly point to ceasing to trust Him.
