I think the writer has missed the target audience of the warning passages in Hebrews. He seems to think they are Christians, but ones that need to put their faith into action.

I think the warning passages are directed to mostly Jewish people who are intellectually convinced that Christianity is true, but have not yet fully come to Christ in true saving faith. These are they who are in danger of falling back/away from Christ, with no subsequent opportunity for salvation.

We cannot save ourselves, and just so, we cannot keep ourselves saved--statically or dynamically.
