nicolaitanes
   the church at ephesus rev. 2:6 is commended for hating the
   "deeds" of the nicolaitanes, and the church of pergamos is
   blamed for having them who hold their "doctrines" 15. they
   were seemingly a class of professing christians, who sought to
   introduce into the church a false freedom or licentiousness,
   thus abusing paul's doctrine of grace comp. 2 pet. 2:15, 16,
   19, and were probably identical with those who held the
   doctrine of baalam q.v., rev. 2:14.
