10. Can we crucify Jesus again?
Hebrew 6:4-6
For it its impossible, in the case of those who have been once enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift; and have shared in the Holy Spirit; and have tasted the good news of the Word of God; and the powers of the age to come; and they have fallen away to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm, and holding Him up to contempt.

Refers to those drawn towards Christ but lose interest

Real believers, once saved, always saved
Warning to grow as a Christian
