Bible Question:
Justme, How do people see Hebrews chapter 6 as supporting a salvation that can not be lost? Do they look at this as an impossible illustration (He 6:4-8) to highlight the better state of the Christian? Who are the people who have "once been enlightened"? AO |
Bible Answer: AO, Those who have been enlightened refers to those who have been baptised. The early Christians call baptism "the bath of enlightenment. See Justin Martyr's First Apology, chapter one, 155 A.D. "enlightened and tasted the heavenly gift" refers to those who have been baptised and received the Eucharist. Emmaus |
