Question: Were These People Saved or Unsaved?

The solemn exhortation found in Hebrews 10:26-31 is the fourth of five warnings found in Hebrews. It is one of the most controversial passages in all of Scripture and is debated by great theologians around the world. The big question is: Were these people saved or unsaved? There are those who hold what is called the Arminian view, who say these people were saved, but through willful sinning lost their salvation. There are many others who say this refers to “professors” in Christ who had never truly been born again. Our view on this passage will definitely affect our interpretation of it. Maybe you are thinking; “I don’t believe either one of these views are correct.” We should never reject someone else’s interpretation unless we can give a better one.
