Hebrews 6
HebrewsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the warning section in Hebrews 6, which follows on from chapter 5's warning not to become stagnant in one's faith. Gregg suggests that the list of six things mentioned in the passage could be interpreted as Jewish practices and distinctives of Judaism, including the concept of washings rather than baptism. He stresses the importance of repentance and faith as the first stage in becoming Christian, followed by water baptism and laying on of hands, which represent the next stages of a convert's experience. Gregg also suggests that while it may be difficult, it is not impossible for someone to renew their repentance and faith and be restored to a saved state.
