I realize
Hebrews 6 speaks of those who have fallen away and says it is impossible to renew them to repentance. This is a controversial passage. Some think it could only apply to a Jewish person who left the sacrificial system, accepted Yeshua as the supreme sacrifice pictured by all the OT sacrifices, and then repudiated Yeshua and went back to animal sacrifices. Some think there is a difference between "falling" or "stumbling" or "missing the mark" and "falling away" or reaching that point of no return. Or referring to what Paul called being "knocked down but not knocked out" in
2 Corinthians 4:9.
I know the author and think he was referring to something like
Galatians 6:1 where it says: "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual,
restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted."
