When the Bible talks about the Apostasy that must come before the rapture, I believe it's not just that Believers will turn completely away from and deny the faith, but many will turn to false doctrines, false teachings, false prophecy and false teachers which denies the complete truth of God's Word. Many churches today will not teach certain subjects because they are not comfortable and they may lose some church members if they start preaching about things that are not popular for fear of offending people. There are also many churches that preach and teach "partial truths" but they add to or take away from scripture so that the doctrine they will lead people to believe false teachings. The only way to avoid turning away from the Truth of God's Word is to read and study God's Word so you will know the Truth from a lie. That will keep you from being deceived and led to deny the Gospel.
"Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits [c]as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God." (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4)
