Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit?

[rural_preacher]

I believe blaspheming the Holy Spirit is a persistent resistance to His work of conviction in drawing a person to salvation.

I this were so, I would have committed the unforgivable sin a hundred times. And since it's the unforgivable sin, I couldn't have ever been forgiven. Thank God that isn't the unforgivable sin! Although I persistently resisted the Holy Spirit's conviction, when I did give in, he forgave me and saved me anyway!!

Persistence unto death...praise God you did not persist unto death!

Although there is no unpardonable sin today, we should always keep in mind there is an unpardonable state of existence--the state of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief.
