"Can anyone give me an example? Anyone"

The final and unrepented rejection of the internal witness of the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ is the only source of forgiveness of sins and reconciliation to God.
The Holy Spirit can do no more. When Jesus spoke by the anointing of the Holy Spirit and certain Jews rejected His Words, they were rejecting the internal witness of the Holy Spirit.

There is no salvation without Christ, and those who reject that witness are without hope.

Mike:

Your question essentially was, what constitues blasphemey of the Holy Spirt. All you want is a definitive answer to your question, I would be willing to bet not one person here can or did give you the answer you seek.

My question has essentially been all along, how is or what qualifies as blaspheming HIM? (I may not have worded the sentence correctly, but hope what I'm asking is clear)

Can anyone give me an example? Anyone?


It is very simple, regardless, of all the rhetoric people throw at you.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is, when you make a conscious decision to willfully reject the Holy Spirit that God gives you on conversion to his way of life. This is also the unpardonable sin. God is not talking about people who stray from his path at various times in their life, but a conscious, willful decision to reject God. I do not think there are many who have done this, regardless of their sinful lives. From such a decision there is absolutely no returning to God, or even the desire to do so.

From what I know of you and your spirit, Mike, you are definitely not in this category, my friend.
