I don't think that's what the verse means. It is saying if yes to all of the above and if you fall away that you cannot be renewed to repentance because you would be in effect crucifying Christ afresh putting Him to open shame. It would mean that you had the full knowledge of truth and rejected it and would represent a heart so hard that you have rejected Christ. That is the state that my heart is currently in.
Everyone makes mistakes, all of us here did. Remember Peter when he denied Christ 3 times? was he forgived? YES!

Have you accepted Jesus as your Savior? Do you believe that He has saved you? Stop looking at yourself and look to Jesus as he has paid the price for your sins.

satan would like you to believe that you are a lost cause. Don't listen to him as he is the father of lies. God loves you and has given you the way out of this sinful world. Take hold of Jesus hand and let him help you out of this hard hearted situation. If you will yourself to Him He will set you free.

PS: We are all lost, we have all hardened our hearts at some point. That's the beauty of being saved Jesus paid the price for our sins and has set us free. Reach out and accept the gift of salvation and He will change you from within. Change your heart of stone into a real heart.

Listen, trust, believe and obey.

I have apostasized and I can't repent.
So begin by repenting of your lack of repentance. We can put too much focus on our own efforts, and not enough on what God does.

I'm afraid I have rejected the full knowledge of the truth and Christ, heart has been hardened and cannot be renewed to repentance.

The longer this thread goes, the more it feels like a plot from a cheesy old Christian movie from the 1970s.

God is the only one who can help you Locke1. He's the one you need to be talking to. I'll pray for you and I know things will get better if you just hang in there.

I have a hardened heart and desperately need help. I have sinned against Light and have fallen away as per Hebrews 6:4-6. Is there any hope for me?

Precious friends, A Very Warm Welcome To Chat. Hebrews is
for Israel (Jews) in the future Great Trib.

Our doctrine/hope is in God's GRACE in Romans - Philemon!

Please Be Very RICHLY Encouraged And Edified In
The LORD JESUS CHRIST, And His Word Of Truth, Rightly
Divided
(+ I and II).

Hope Is IN Christ, His BLOOD And Resurrection, not in
UNdispensational doctrine:

Grace, Peace, And JOY!...
