Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
An heretical sect condemned in Revelation 2:6,15
Concise Bible Dictionary:
The designation of some sect whose deeds and doctrines are condemned without being specified (Rev. 2:6,15). Many suggestions have been made as to the tenets of the Nicolaitanes, but nothing is known with certainty. As their “doctrine” and their “deeds” are referred to, both of which Christ “hated,” it has been thought they were libertines.
