Bible Question: What is the verse in Hebrews chapter 6 verse 6 saying |
Bible Answer: It seems these verses, Hebrews 6:4-6 (NASB), can best be explained by way of the covenant. We are are united to God in covenant by baptism (6:4 - enlightened). God deals with us in covenant, not as such individuals but as a body of believers, the church. We regularly take the Lord's Supper (tasted of the heavenly gift) and participate in weekly worship (partakers of the Holy Spirit, tasted the good word of God). To leave the church and turn from God (fallen away). We all believe that once we are saved we cannot loose our salvation. So this must be talking of the 'wicked among the righteous'(Matt 13:47-50), the people who are in the church but not really christian. |
