Featured Hebrews and the Warnings in Hebrews

Jn 1:13 gives the only reason some receive it...
Not of the will of man, but of God.

 

Sure, the intended meaning of the inspired text does not change. God decides "whosoever will."

 

your Greek is FAULTY much like Reformed1689!

 

My position addresses specific passages, so do not ascribe my views to the entire book.

Hebrews 6:10 is addressing those saved, thus the things that accompany salvation.

 

NO sinner can be saved by any "good works", salvation is from the Grace of God.

 

Paul teaches we are to examine ourselves when we take communion to see if we are "of the faith."

If we feel convicted, that our lives miss the mark, that does not mean we are not saved. Our "Helper" will bring to our mind our shortcomings so that we can strive to do better in the future. But on the other hand, if you feel no remorse for ignoring the example and instruction of Christ, that does not bode well for your soul.

Always remember, Christ uses "broken reeds."

 

Long story short: the doctrinal passages in Hebrews 3, 6, & 10, that speak of potential loss of salvation, are doctrinally aimed at the tribulation period, not the church age.
You are saved in the church age. Your bread-and-butter are Paul's epistles to the churches, not the Hebrews. You can't lose your salvation like someone in the tribulation can.

 

The elect always persevere unto the eternal state.

 

The elect do not draw back to perdition. They are safe and secure in Jesus

 

Hebrews 6:4-6 (KJV)

For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

1) "once enlightened" refers to being exposed to the gospel, both hearing it and understanding it, thus enlightened.

2) "tasted the heavenly gift" again refers to hearing and understanding the gospel, but not accepting it or fully accepting it, thus tasted.

3) "partakers of the Holy Ghost" refers to hearing and understanding the inspired word of God, either from the gospel directly by reading God's word, or indirectly from born anew witnesses (the powers of the world to come).

4) If they should reject the good news, it is impossible to bring them to the thresh hold of repentance, unless they change their mind, because there is no other gospel among men whereby they might be saved.
