The first thing to do is be a good friend, who tries to understand the struggle the one who has fallen away is experiencing. It may be a conflict with another Christian, an objection to what has been said about the truth of Scripture (valid or not), or unexpected grief or loss. However, it could be that the problem has been the enticement of some worldly pleasure, which gained control instead of letting Christ have control.
There is nothing wrong with certain pleasures, having certain possessions, or gaining power to control others, if it is under the submission to Christ as the leader of a godly life. The Ephesian church at one time was powerful and did not allow false teaching in the church. But in Revelation 2:4, Christ had to say: "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." They had given Christ a back seat in their church, their love for Him waning. Christ said to them: "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent." v. 5.
The Lord says 1 John 2:15-17: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." These things should not be in control of our lives as Christians, but putting Christ first, will keep these things in their proper place.
Whatever the cause of falling away may be, a godly christian needs to gently lead the struggling one back to the truth. Galatians 6:1 says: "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." The advocate needs to prayerfully lead the struggling one back to Scriptural ways, while humbly realizing the dangers of falling into worldliness himself.
If the fallen Christian does not respond well, it may be that the only present thing to do is pray for this one, yet even indicating that that prayer is being made, might help this struggling one to reconsider the right way to live for God. A godly example often will say more than words in this situation.
A good christian friend, who seeks to honor God can be a great advocate to those who are struggling with spiritual matters in this world.

What are the names of the fallen angels in the Bible and what significance do they hold in Christian theology?
In the Bible, the names of the fallen angels are Lucifer, also known as Satan, and the rebellious angels who followed him. In Christian theology, these fallen angels represent the concept of evil and rebellion against God. They are often seen as symbols of temptation, sin, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. Their story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of turning away from God and choosing to follow one's own desires.
