In regard to Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" here carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called sin. We exercise our will but, the use of the participle clearly shows continuous, willful, habitual, continuous action. The unrighteous practice sin (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21); not the righteous, who are born of God. (1 Corinthians 6:11; 1 John 3:9)
Confidence is rooted in the sacrificial death and blood of Jesus, yet those who draw back to perdition and do not believe to the saving of the soul (Hebrews 10:39) demonstrate a lack of confidence which culminates in a lack of perseverance. So, those Hebrews who reject the sacrificial death and blood of Jesus for the Levitical system, have in effect of trampled the Son of God underfoot, counting the blood of the covenant as a common thing, and insulting the Spirit of grace. For such folks, there no longer remains a sacrifice to atone for our sins that is, no further offering to anticipate.

You are trying to “qualify” here where God does not qualify; you are trying to “limit” sin where Gos has not “limited.” But you know, it really doesn’t matter, because God still makes His point —that a SAVED Person can so sin as to be lost. It doesn’t matter to our debate , if he has sinned one time or 1000 times, look at what God is saying.
Hebrews 10
Verse 19- He calls them “BRETHREN”. He says they had entered the “Holiest” by the blood of Jesus. He is talking to SAVED brethren. He tells them to “draw near” to God, to “HOLD FAST” to their salvation. Why would He admonish them to do that if they can’t lose it??? And then, he says, BECAUSE if we (the saved) sin willfully…we will be LOST and verse 27 says they will suffer judgement from God and fire. Why? Because those who sin willfully “trample underfoot the Son of God,” they “treat the blood of Jesus as a common thing,” and they “insult the Holy Spirit (verse 29). Then he says the Lord WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE. “HIS PEOPLE” ,”These are the saved who are doing these things. Keep reading.
verse 32, He tells them to remember the “former days” when they were saved, faithful to God. They were willing to suffer persecutions BECAUSE, verse 35, they knew they had “a better and enduring possession in heaven”. They were saved at that time, in the “former days.” Verse 35, he tells them “DO NOT CAST AWAY YOUR SALVATION WHICH HAS GREAT REWARD. They were going to lose it al!. Like the “lost sheep” in Luke 15, they needed to repent.
Anyone can read this chapter for themselves and see that it is NOT teaching “once you are saved, you can’t be lost.” It is teaching just the opposite of that. Be honest.
