You make a good point zephyr and I agree about not leaving the Holy Ghost. However, consider the quote in Heb. 6 in context, it does tells us to "leave" and don't return because returning is not possible...
Quote: 1 Therefore [b]leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection[/b]; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God fresh, and put him to an open shame.
This is the same doctrine taught in D&C 132:26-27.
The principles listed are VERY specific and should not be confused with ones not listed. It also only applies to those who have made their C&E sure and have not yet become perfected, yet who would become Son's of Perdition if they fell to the point of shedding innocent blood, Christ's blood. They are:- repentance
- faith toward God - That he can save you.
- baptisms - For the remission of sins.
- laying on of hands - For the Holy Ghost, which you have denied...
- resurrection - Perhaps they live forever in their sins like Cain...Or they live until, like the Goat Azazel, they take their own lives...
- eternal judgment - Only applies to the Telestial Kingdom D&C 76
I understand that many of the early saints to who Paul spoke had received their Calling and Election made sure. Some even became perfect.
Quote:1 Cor. 2:6-8
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
