by the holy spirit that you will never fall back again
does this mean that no matter what someone has done or will do once they have found jesus through the holy spirit they cannot turn back and they are forgiven
and because they never fall back again when they discover god
they will definetly not go to hell no matter what is this what this means what the hebrews said?

You've completely misread the scripture. It means if you've experienced real salvation and threw it away, then there is no more hope for you to be saved.
This passage below is from the KJV. (Hebrews, chapter 6)

Some sins are unforgivable. Jesus Christ said: “Every sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven.” (Matthew 12:31) So, then, blasphemy against God’s holy spirit, or active force, will not be forgiven. The apostle Paul alluded to such sin when he wrote: “It is impossible as regards those who have once for all been enlightened, . . . but who have fallen away, to revive them again to repentance, because they impale the Son of God afresh for themselves and expose him to public shame.”—Hebrews 6:4-6.
Only God knows if a person has committed the unforgivable sin. However, Paul shed light on this matter when he wrote: “If we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, but there is a certain fearful expectation of judgment.” (Hebrews 10:26, 27) A willful person acts deliberately, or is “obstinately and often perversely self-willed.” (Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary) Anyone willfully and obstinately continuing to practice sin after he knows the truth is not forgiven. Hence, it is not so much the sin itself as it is the heart condition, the degree of willfulness involved, that affects whether the sin is forgivable or not. On the other hand, what is likely the case when an erring Christian is deeply disturbed about his wrongdoing? His great concern probably indicates that he has not, in fact, committed an unforgivable sin.

Many know the Lord and walk away from Him.This
is not permissible,once one is touched by the Holy Spirit,they have no desire to sin, or leave God.If they do so they never really knew Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

In Hebrews chapter 6 it says that if they (those who have tasted the gift of God) fall, they won't come back to repentance. So it's encouraging Christians to keep on the right track and focus on the Lord so they don't fall back. And to keep on serving the Lord without turning back. We have hope for an anchor for our soul.

Your question is confusing. You mix the Hebrew beliefs with Christian, they are different. If you are asking if you can lose the gift of Salvation if you are a Christian, the answer is NO.
