You must understand who that Scripture is talking to...ACTS Chapter One, when Jesus said the Comforter would come and the Spirit would fill them so they could take the message to the world, and it will exist until he returns again and that hasn’t happened yet.
The Hebrews Chapter Six is for a specific type of Christian in ministry involved in the NINE GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT , clearly explained in I Corinthians ALL of Chapter 12.
If you read slowly Hebrews Chapter Six starting verses 1-7 you will understand “WHO” that chapter is for and it is specific, it isn’t for everyone...that was my point. Along with the fact that there is a category where one can lose their Salvation, so there is not a blanket ‘once saved always saved Salvation for all’....but you must understand WHO HE IS TALKING TO....
Yes, those who have experienced all the gifts God can give them here on earth and operate accordingly, I Corinthians all of Chapter 12 for a clearer picture. No the gifts were never done away with, and there are millions who are Spirit filled today.
Saul of Taursus became Paul, who was not filled with the Spirit until Jesus had already ascended into Heaven and he appeared to him in the Spirit on the road to Damascus, so Pauls statement of when those things will be done away with has yet to come, when Jesus returns.
RESEARCH the 3000 at Notre Dame who were infilled like the Book of Acts about 40-50 years ago publicly in an Assembly at the college, that movement started another world wide revival that lasted until about ten years ago. Christian persecution by Islam and others escalated and then th ‘Great FallingAaway was becoming evident with all that we discuss here developing with abortion, gay rights, public school attacks on religions...lots of those churches that had been filled were beginning to lose converts. There were previous large visitations of the Holy Spirit like in ACTS here in USA and other nations which began huge mass conversions and revivals throughout history.
nope...you said a Christian could lose their salvation based on this verse. I asked you specific questions as to how and could they ever get it back. You didn't answer these.
your tag says you take the Bible literally. a literal reading of that text in Hebrews says once you lose it you can't get it back.
Again, I'll ask you under what sin(s) does a Christian committ to lose their salvation?
How do you know if you've lost it?
Can you get it back?
