"12 If we suffer , we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13 If we believe not , yet he abideth faithful: he cannot * deny himself." (2 Timothy 2:12-13, KJV with Strong's)
The Greek for "deny":
In other words, only if we reject Christ's gift of salvation will we be denied. "If we believe not , yet he abideth faithful: he cannot * deny himself." Furthermore:
"27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, andthey follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never * * perish ,neither * shall any man pluck them out of my hand." (From John 10)
He doesn't qualify "neither shall any" either--He means "neither shall any", meaning that you can't even wriggle out of Yeshua's hand. So what does Hebrews 6:4-6 mean? See Yeshuat Yisrael's study. Besides, Bible.Ca states that "Christians are to restore the fallen: Gal 6:1; Jas 5:19-20". As GotQuestions.org pointed out, G-d's strong enough to keep you from falling--he doesn't need Christians to restore someone's salvation, nor can Christians: only G-d can save. By the way, that Bible.Ca twists Scripture out of context is obvious.
