Surrounding this verse, I think that The awful warning Christ gave them to take heed how they spoke such dangerous words as these; however they might make light of them, as only conjectures, and the language of free-thinking, if they persisted in it, it would be of fatal consequence to them; it would be found a sin against the last remedy, and consequently unpardonable; for what could be imagined possible to bring them to repentance for their sin in blaspheming Christ, who would set aside such a strong conviction with such a weak evasion? It is true, the gospel promiseth, because Christ hath purchased, forgiveness for the greatest sins and sinners, v. 28. Many of those who reviled Christ on the cross (which was a blaspheming of the Son of man, aggravated to the highest degree), found mercy, and Christ himself prayed, Father, forgive them; but this was blaspheming the Holy Ghost, for it was by the Holy Spirit that he cast out devils, and they said, It was by the unclean spirit, v. 30. By this method they would outface the conviction of all the gifts of the Holy Ghost after Christs ascension, and defeat them all, after which there remained no more proof, and therefore they should never have forgiveness, but were liable to eternal damnation. They were in imminent danger of that everlasting punishment, from which there was no redemption, and in which there was no intermission, no remission.Caelum said:1) That regarding the power of Jesus/Holy Spirit is actually works of evil could be blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
or
2) That anytime you disregard, or deny the power of the Spirit, you are blaspheming it.
Does this mean that if you have denied the existence of God you have committed an unforgiveable sin? I don't think so. I denied God for a long time until I finally quit closing the gates to the Holy Spirit who knocked for years when I had received it before.. .
What does it mean then? I just don't know...lol
