1 | Partakers of the Holy Spirit? | Heb 6:6 | KBurgee | 3602 | ||
Wow, this is a great topic! I never realized how difficult this really is. But that's good! True knowledge isn't always easy, hehe. Paul isn't speaking about a certainty; this is a hypothetical situation. Some people (thanx, study Bible!) who do not believe in "eternal security" who believe in "conditional salvation" think that the passage refers to people who fall away from the faith; others think that these people weren't fully Christians (I don't understand that; either you accept or you don't, unless we're talking maturity levels in Christ), and that other verses teach eternal security. If there were an actual documented case of criticizing God after accepting Him, I'd like to know. Check out John 5:24 and 6:37; Romans 8:1; Hebrews 8:12. Personally? Changing someone's heart is difficult. I don't understand how anyone can reject God after being in His spirit, unless they are really, really, bad? Who wants to taste and see that the Lord is good, then go back to eating trash? The only example I have is Satan. He was a partaker of the spirit (shoot, he was God's praise director! How do you NOT know?), yet openly defied God with his act. As a result, he can never be (nor does he deserve to be) saved. Hope they help. I'd love to learn more about this as well. K |

Sorry. Forgot to mention that it was THE AUTHOR making this a hypothetical situation, and NOT Paul. I apologize for the mixup. | ||||||

Thanks again for your response. I appreciate it. I'm studying it further. In the meantime, I'm going to reask the question so that it will come back up in the question queue and others will (hopefully) answer. OK, all you NASB Greek scholars out there (you know who you are), who are these 'partakers of the Holy Spirit that fall from grace and can't be brought back to repentance? | ||||||

For it is impossible.To come back into the body of Christ, for once in his hand you cannot come out.Christs sacrifice is once and for all you cant put him back on the cross. The first time you entered into a realationship with him was for all time,if your truly saved. This is for believers they cant come to their original repentence for thats been done , however they can come back into realationship. buy asking foregivness of their sin, he is sure and just and will forgive us our sin. where does it say that they had fallen from grace. We never did anything to obtain it , and theres nothing we can do to maintain it, thats works. love in Christ RCScroll | ||||||

May I add that the hebrews were so use to sacrifices , that when they sinned they wanted to go back to the sacrificial alter with an offering,the writer of hebrews is telling them that once was enough, that there was no more sacrifices for sins,it is impossible to renew again ,its been done. just reread HEB 6:1-3 and stay in the context of the teaching.love RCScroll | ||||||
