| Explain 4 views of the warning passage in Hebrews |
|
Definition
| 1. Hypothetical warning- The author realizes that for a believer it's impossible to fall away (It's a threat and the Threat it's self is enough) Parent example. 2. Loss of rewards-(eternal judgment not at stake instead believers who fall away will suffer a loss of rewards in heaven. (weakness in this argument is that people will say well I'm still going to heaven who cares. 3. Loss of Salvation- (the author is concerned that genuine Christians can lose their salvation. 4. Confirmation of lost state- The author is concerned that some people who have identified themselves as believers but aren't genuine believers might turn away from Christianity. |
