My understanding of Hebrews 6:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Leave the discourse of the beginning of Christ, (the more you study the scriptures the more in depth it becomes, books could be written on chapters alone) as the ‘perfection’ intended is the full growth of those who are mature in Christian knowledge and there is no need for a foundation to be laid a second time. Repentance is the first lesson of the Gospel and faith is also one of the initial steps in religious knowledge.
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
The doctrine of baptism was the teaching which enabled Christians who are receiving instructions in preparation for a baptism to discriminate between Jewish washings and Christian baptism. The laying on of hands is for ordination, (Numbers) confirmation, (Acts) healings (Mark) and in this order correspond with the system of teaching respecting them in the Acts of the Apostles - Repentance, Faith, Baptism, Confirmation, Resurrection, Judgment. Even the doctrine of the resurrection belonged to Judaism. The last eternal judgment, is that all who do not live the life, lose their inheritance in the kingdom of God along with the hypocrites and incur the same judgment as the unbelievers.
With this the rest of scripture agrees.
