I already made a thread about it but this thing has really been bothering me and I need some brutally honest answers and opinions which I did not get in the previous thread.
A few days ago I was thinking about how the Bible says a man and a woman become one flesh when they marry, but are still two separate persons. So then I thought the same might be true regarding spirits, when the Bible says we are one Spirit with the Holy Spirit. So I said out loud "The Holy Spirit is not my spirit", thinking I have my Spirit and then I also have the Holy Spirit. I almost immediately got this strange feeling in my gut after saying that and felt numb for a while.
Obviously now I have come to realize that the Holy Spirit is indeed my Spirit, but I am wondering if I accidentally committed the unpardonable sin by saying that thing. I did not intend to blaspheme or insult the Holy Spirit, it was a misunderstanding and an error on my part. But if I say a lie in the heat of the moment, it's still a lie and a sin, is it the same thing with blasphemy?
All of that said I still love God and want to serve Him. I am also still able to pray in tongues and I asked God to fill me with His Holy Spirit in faith and He did so. I have felt His presence since then, but not the tears of joy or feeling of joy that He often gives me. Perhaps I need to just be patient and wait on Him, but I am desperate for some reassurance from Him.
I'm not exactly sure how I should be feeling if I had committed the unpardonable sin.
Thanks and God bless!
