GOOD question! I did a little light reading about this on bible.crosswalk.com, and there's reference to Demas returning to being a priest in a pagan temple. But I didn't chase down the reference.

But would somebody truly changed at the heart for Jesus, who was helping Paul ever abandon him? I "think" this act implies a lot that we try to read into now.
