Hebrews 6:2

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

The items listed belong to the first principles of the doctrine of Christ. They are to be studied directly from God's Word and kept distinct from fables and fanciful interpretations that have no biblical support. The wider passage of Hebrews 6:1-20 is instruction for the church, calling its members to grow in faith. That growth means putting away envy, suspicion, and accusation by fixing attention on Christ and showing love, patience, forbearance, and confidence.
