• The essence of Nicolaitanism seems to have been the abuse of grace to the disregard of Christian or even moral practice. (“Lectures on Revelation 2:1-7” by W. Kelly)
• When persons maintain that unholiness may be tolerated because no man is free from sin, it is Antinomianism; and I believe it to be the very principle of the Nicolaitans. (“Lectures on Revelation 2:1-7” by W. Kelly)
• It has been conjectured that the Nicolaitanes are identical with the followers of Balaam. But this is difficult to understand in the light of verses 14 and 15, where the evils are separately named. “So thou also hast those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes in like manner.” The latter, it would seem, was the grosser evil of the two. All early writers, however, are agreed on the main features of this sect as being of an impure and licentious character. Nicolaitanism therefore would appear to have combined the profession of Christianity with the impurities of Paganism. Fleshly indulgence is a practical denial of the holy nature of Christianity, and cannot be tolerated by the Lord, nor by any who are faithful to the Name of Him Who is “the holy, the true” (Rev. 3:7). (“Revelation 2: Addresses to the Seven Churches” by W. Scott)
