From the Macarthur Study Bible -

With full revelation they rejected the truth, concluding the opposite of the truth about Christ, and thus had no hope of being saved. They can never have more knowledge than they had when they rejected it. They have concluded that Jesus should have been crucified, and they stand with his enemies. There is no possibility of these verses referring to losing salvation. Many Scripture passages make unmistaka bly clear that salvation is eternal (cf.  Jn 10:27–29; Ro 8:35, 38, 39; Php 1:6; 1Pe 1:4,  5 ). Those who want to make this verse mean that believers can lose salvation will have to admit that it would then also say that one could never get it back again.
