I remember reading a charismatic reverend who could see into the Spirit. He once believed in once saved always saved. Until His cousin a christian woman who loved to have sex with anyone for years produced a vision from the Lord on the answer to this very Question. I should point out that God waited decades for her to repent according to his story.

He saw her die in a sex act and her soul go to Hell.

The Lord gave him this verse after the Vision. I just posted it before. I never forgot these verses since that story. Very interesting to say the least.

Hebrews 6

The Peril of Falling Away

1 Therefore leaving the [a]elementary teaching about the [b]Christ, let us press on to [c]maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

2 of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

3 And this we will do, if God permits.

4 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

6 and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, [d]since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

7 For ground that drinks the rain which often [e]falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God;

8 but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close [f]to being cursed, and [g]it ends up being burned.

[Melian]

“tasted of the heavenly gift “

That says it all, doesn’t it?

I’ve always read this passage to mean that if you possessed the fullness of faith, in the Catholic Church, and then walk away from that more complete knowledge into a religion with lessor understanding, you are sinning against the Holy Spirit.
