Johan,
The NT has several examples of individuals/groups that "followed" Jesus but who lacked true saving faith, e.g., Luke 8:11ff; John 2:23-25; 6:2,22-27ff; Hebrews 6:4-6. The "following" which we read of in these passages are not dissimilar to those today who "follow" after men more than they follow after Christ. There is a fleshly following, i.e., a following for wrong reasons. And, there is a following which is rooted in a love for Christ and a deep desire to conform oneself to Christ through sanctification; the putting off the old man and the putting on the new. Few "count the cost" before proclaiming allegiance and professing to believe on Him.
