1 | Unpardonable sin | Matt 12:32 | ngkh | 143802 | ||
I have read commentaries and discussions done in 2002 but I've still some questions and would appreciate some enlightening. 1) What constitute blasphemising the Holy Spirit (NIV and NKJV) ? 2) If a christian whose church do not believe in the speaking of tongues i.e. holy spirit, and thus to say that its not acceptable, will they fall under this category? My bro-in-law is in this church. 3) Does this verse not contradict the full Grace of the Lord? Even if you talk against Jesus Christ is still forgivable. 4) What if the person who does not understand the Holy Spirit and have talked bad about the Spirit. ( Would it be reasonable for a man who is not a believer or ignorant like the Pharisees to say that it is a demon instead? (Matthew 12:24)) 4) Would you say that man in general who do not understand but witness a miracle ( healing, exorcism) would normaly look at it in a negative manner (skeptics). Will skeptics then also fall under this category of unforgivable sin? Thus if a person who is a non believer then, argued that the Holy Spirit is utterly nonsence and crap but later repented and born again. No use? (damned for eternity) Thank you. |

2 | Unpardonable sin | Matt 12:32 | WalkingTalkingBible | 143807 | ||
James 4:17, "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." 1)Having been baptized with the Holy Spirit (He will now dwell within the believer), the believer will be lead by Him, comforted by Him, shown the truth by Him, been convicted by Him, etc. To turn around and say that the Holy Spirit does not exist, after one has known and been filled with the Holy Spirit, and walked in Holiness, is the unpardonable sin, or blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 2)Those you refer to in your no. 2 will not fall into this category because they don't know God, they are ignorant of this topic (Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues). Scripture says that this, along with the other gifts and the five-fold ministry, are given UNTIL the Church comes to unity and maturity which has not happened yet. (Ephesians 4:12-16) 3)-5) Apply James 4:17; they will not be held accountable for blaspheming the Holy Spirit, Whom they do not know, but they are accountable for their unbelief. See John 3:17.
