It is NOT about root of salvation or being born again or not. Being rooted in Christ means you have His word deep with in your heart.
Many born again christians do not have Gods word deeply rooted in their hearts. These are the ones who struggle more and fall into the same ol trap or sins. Just because you got your self born again does not mean you just dont do things any more. When scripture tells us that if we are in Christ we wont keep on sinning - this is talking about getting His word and ways rooted deep with in you so that you wont.
I agree. What point are you trying to make though.

OK Now then ATP you spoke this ..........................Because God would be in contradiction if Heb 10:26-31 was about believers. That is why.
These scriptures that you bring from Hebrews 10 is talking about a person who is born again BUT keeps on walking in sin by choice. If it were to non beleivers then the fact that Jesus only died once for them would not even be mentioned. NO Sir, these type of people get them selves born again and begin to eat of Gods goodness and when something comes around that THEY WANT TO DO and know God says not to do them but do them because they like it - then these are the people this scripture is talking about. Eventually grace will run out and there will be no repentance left.
Example..............Ms run around gets born again and God begins to clean up her life. He gives her a good job and a car and a nice home. He is working on her and then ol mr winky comes along and says come on girl lets go. She feels God conviction and knows God says no but says - why is this even wrong and goes off with ol mr winky and sins. Then comes back wanting more from God. See the KEY is WILFULLY keeps on sinning. Meaning cause they want to not because they struggle or have yet to develope a stronger faith.
Why tell a sinner Jesus only dies for you once and if you keep sinning then there is nothing left to save you. Yea there is - Jesus on the cross. No ATP this is to those who become born again and keep on sinning because they LIKE IT.
