Hi brother,
Thanks for your honest response. That verse in Hebrews does not suggest at all that God will not accept a sinner who comes to repentance. The verse explicitly states that if someone falls away completely from the faith then it will be difficult for them to return and that they again crucify Christ in the process. It is however very very rare for someone who falls away to come back to the faith, compare Jesus' parable about the seeds who fell on the way side etc. Some people come to Christ and fall away at different times, now be careful, drifting away and completely falling away are two separate issues.
