[B-Greek] The present tense in Hebrews 6:4-6

I don't know much about Greek, so I request some help.

The amplified version translated Hebrews 6:4-6 as

*If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance—[it
is impossible] to bring them back to repentance, for (because, while, as
long as) they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh [as far as they are
concerned] and are holding [Him] up to contempt and shame and public
disgrace.* (Amplified Bible - Lockman)

In the brackets it says (because, while, as long as)
is that because of the present tense active participles?
Is this true to the original Greek?

So then does it mean that the sort of people being mentioned here can return
and be saved?


Thank you very much.
