2:19 There are those who may seem to be Christians for a time, but their ultimate departure from the faith reveals they never knew Jesus (Mt 13:18-23).

2:20 John used “anointing” to refer to the work of the Holy Spirit in conversion.

2:22-23 Those who do the work of antichrists are always wrong in their Christology. They will deny the reality of the incarnation and Jesus as the God-man, and they will attack his work of atonement on the cross. The exclusive nature of salvation in Jesus could not be more clear (see Jn 14:6; Ac 4:12; 1Tm 2:5).
