Hebrews 6:5 and the powers of the age to come,
Here the thought naturally applies to converts whose instruction in “the Word of God” had given them a genuine experience of its “goodness” and who likewise had known the reality of miracles. John F. Walvoord, Roy B. Zuck and Dallas Theological Seminary, The Bible Knowledge Commentary : An Exposition of the Scriptures
Hebrews 6:6 and then have fallen away,
PARAPIPTO part. aa
To fall aside or away, err, stray, lapse. Used only here in Heb. 6:6, denoting a falling away, an abandonment.
Remember the believers of Gal. 5:4 who were “severed from Christ” and had “fallen away from grace”?
Hebrews 6:4-6 For it is impossible in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5) and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6) and have fallen away, to renew them again to repentance, as long as they continue
crucifying to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame.
