The Pretenders, Part 1 Enlightened in Their Minds, but Not Changed in Their Hearts

Hebrews chapter 6, would you turn there? We come to Hebrews chapter 6 verses 4 through 6. One of the most challenging, possibly the most misunderstood, misinterpreted, perhaps one of the most difficult texts of scripture to interpret. Before I look at it I want to say that I know there are good brothers and sisters in Christ who interpret this differently than I'm going to preach it to you. I don't think their interpretation is right, but this is not a personal attack on them in any way. I don't think this passage is teaching that a truly saved believer can lose his salvation. However, I know good brothers and sisters who believe that's what it says, and they love the Lord like they love the Lord. And I love them. They love me. But I disagree with that conclusion. And I think, and here would be my challenge to you if you're here and you lean in that direction is to give me a fair hearing. Say, "Lord, teach me. Show me if there's something I need to see here."
