Read Hebrews 6, and 10, and 2Peter 2.
In all three of these chapters it is made plain that people that had received the Holy spirit still became hopelessly lost.
Go with the detail for understanding, not with the generalities. This is where Peter meant that people become lost by “wresting” with his words. (To their OWN destruction)

Who was the book of Hebrews written to? And the book of Peter? It matters. Especially in the matter of doctrine in this age of the grace of God.

Also re-read 2 Peter 2 and see who Peter was talking about in verse 16. He wasn’t speaking people wrestling with his OWN words. He was speaking of people wrestling with PAUL’S words. Important difference.

If you believe Hebrews 6 teaches you can lose salvation, then it also teaches you cannot get it back.
Do you believe that???

Implying that the Greek word μετόχους means the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a stretch.
