1 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | John Reformed | 41921 | ||
Hello Tim, I read your post to Sir Pent on He 6:6. It was well reasoned, but left the door open for the loss of salvation for the impenitent believers. What would happen to one such as this who died before repenting? As I responded to Berean, the best sermon I have ever read on He 6:6 was by C.H. Spurgeon. You will find it at www.spurgeon.org and the titleis "Final Perserverance". I believe you will enjoy it immensely! Godd Bless John |

2 | Hebrews 6:6 explained | Hebrews | Morant61 | 41962 | ||
Greetings John! I'll definitely check out the site. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Spurgeon, though I don't always agree with him! :-) In fact, I probably have that sermon somewhere in my files. I'm heading out to work, but I would like to respond quickly to your point about impenitent believers. As you know, I come from an Arminian perspective, but I don't hold to the view that one can 'lose' their salvation. 'Losing' to me implies an element of accident. I do believe that a believer can willfully 'reject' their salvation. The difference being that I don't see 'rejection' as being composed of one or more acts of sin, which if not repented of led one to damnation. Rather, 'rejection' means a fully conscience decision to reject Christ - with a full awareness of all that this means. I don't see very many believers ever doing this. This is what I think the participles of Heb. 6:4-6 refer to - someone who knew better rejecting the only means of salvation. Thus, I don't believe that a believer ever has to be concerned about 'losing' their salvation - only about rejecting Christ. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
