Once again, I thoroughly covered Hebrews 6:4-6 in context in post #19 and I also properly harmonized scripture with scripture before reaching my conclusion on doctrine. You just don't have ears to hear. I fully understand what salvation is really about and I don't need your pity. The sword of the Spirit hurts when it cuts which explains why you lashed out at me.
No you didn't.
The answer is NO. Now in regard to Hebrews 6:4-6, once enlightened -....
All that to try to explain away what the text actually says. Shame no one gets that from a simple reading of what the text plainly states. That alone should be and probably was a red flag for those whom put forth the doctrine of OSAS initially.
Quit simply My friend We can't fall away from something if we are not there. We can't be renewed again if we have not been renewed in the first place. Eternal salvation is only for those of us whom obey, attentively hearken unto Him as verse 5:9 puts forth. And as chapter 6 continues in verses 12-15 Through faith and patience we inherit the promises as Abraham patiently endured and obtained the promise.. And if that is not enough context for us let's back up to chapter 3 and 4. Where it plainly states that we should not follow after the sample of unbelief, that of disobedience, "them that sinned, whose carcasses fell in the desert" that Israel did prior to entering into the promise land. And that we are Christ's house only if we hold fast our confidence firm unto the end. (3:6) And what of chapter 2 where the writer begins with an admonition including himself in respect giving earnest heed to that which they heard from the Son and them that heard Him lest they let them slip. For if that which was heard from angels was steadfast that every transgression and disobedience received a just reward how shall we escape that which was first spoken by the Lord and them that heard Him.
Heb 6:6 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.
Heb 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that
obey him;
Heb 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Heb 6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Heb 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
Heb 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Heb 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Heb 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Heb 2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
