Jun 8, 2022 · Does Hebrews 10:26 mean that a believer can lose salvation? “For if we are willfully sinning after receiving the full knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice concerning sins.”. Hebrews 10:26-29 warns against the sin of apostasy. Apostasy is an intentional falling away or defection.
Jan 4, 2022 · Unlike an apostate, a true believer is someone who has been delivered from sin to righteousness in Christ and who refuses to continue in sin (Romans 6:1–2).

The second major question regarding this section is what was their offence? Some professing believers were thinking about returning to Judaism.

It is the one iniquity that will never be forgiven (“never” is the meaning of “either in this age or in the age to come” in Matthew 12:32). The unforgivable sin is blasphemy (“defiant irreverence”) of the Holy Spirit in the context of the Spirit’s work in the ...
The fate of those who commit the unpardonable sin parallels the fate of apostates in at least three passages on apostasy: “it is impossible … to restore them again to repentance” (Heb 6:4–6); “one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God … and has outraged the Spirit of grace” (Heb 10:29); “there is sin that leads to death ...
