" Hbr 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit "
Yup, that's another tried and true verse some pastors use to keep people in line and under their control in fear.
No where does it say in that verse that those people accepted, believed on, or even actually got saved.

Nonsense...this is how the author addresses them:

Hebrew 3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

They are holy brethren. Partakers (the same word used in 6:14) of the calling. They've confessed Christ.

And later:

Hbr 3:12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; Hbr 3:13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hbr 3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

Again persevere to the end. It was written to CHRISTIANS. It's in the CHRISTIAN bible. Who cares if they used to be Hebrews?

These words also echo the words of Paul to Timothy which you failed to address.

Look in the mirror..... that's what I have been asking you about :

Matthew 5:20 King James Bible

20. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
