No I am not saying that...

Tasting, knowing and being indwelled are quite different.

Some come to church and become 'christianised' without being born again and indwelled.
So you are saying they were never saved.
If that is the case, then how can they be once enlightened and be partakers of the Holy Spirit?

Understanding who Jesus is does not make you born again.

Enjoying the presence of God among believers does not make you born again.

More people hang themselves on the one verse in Hebrews 6, when further down in the same portion of text, it states, but I know you are not like this.

I'm with Carl on this one. Many folks sit in pews each and every week, they partake of the goings on there that are of the Holy Spirit, but themselves were never saved. In due time they may indeed walk away. Meanwhile if the rapture came, how many would be left sitting in those pews that day, fully convinced they were Christian but clearly not, as the Christians are gone. Lets say they were christianesque. They knew of it all, well taught, but received not the fruit of the Spirit.
