For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,What falls under "receiving the knowledge?" Is it only those who hear the Gospel, but do not accept it as their own? Or does it include those of us who do accept, but willfully sin afterwards?
If it's the former, then there's no way for these people to ever come to Christ, and they are truly lost forever. But if it's the second, then it sounds like there is a way to actually lose one's salvation. Or might it be about the ones who appear to be saved but later fall away, showing they never really believed and their pretending gains them nothing?
