Knowing the Salvation teaching of the Bible & Apostle Paul is necessary when studying verses such as Heb 6:4 thru 6:6. Since the Bible is God inspired, there can be no significant differences in doctrinal matters. The Apostle Paul would not change his salvation teaching among his many Epistles. Likewise, the same is true among the Books of the Bible. These are prerequisites to interpreting & understanding any verse, or group of verses in the Bible.
Below you will find verses, which show the Salvation Teaching of both the Bible & Apostle Paul. The selections contain a limited number of verses, with links to other pages dealing with in-depth listings of appropriate verses. This was done because I realize that it becomes tedious to go through a long listing of verses, which basically say the same thing. It becomes counter productive to a study.

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand. My Father who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand."

"We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose.

(Romans 8:28-30)
"Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world.
Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be his through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before him. Because of his love
