recently got saved?

[Nick01]

I just wanted to be sure about something. A decade ago or more I thought I committed the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, by cussing him out.

A couple of days ago, someone sent me a passage of the KJV of the bible. It is as follows :

Mark 3:28-29
<28> Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: <29> But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Notice how it says, "in danger".
That means I haven't committed the unpardonable sin, but merely "in danger" of committing it. I understand now that it's the rejection of Jesus Christ/Holy Ghost.

Also, I understand that we have the SEAL of the Spirit of promise.
Once we get that seal, it can't be broken.

What do you guys think?

The bible tells us that the cross covers a lifetime of sins.

Heb 9:27-28 We die only once, and then we are judged. So Christ died only once to take away the sins of many people.

die once = cross for a life time of sins

The unpardonable sin is not saying bad word's against God. It is a state of heart that will not repent no matter what evidence God gives. In context, the Pharisees had seen all of Jesus' miracles, yet would rather call Him a devil than change their ways. This state of heart was unpardonable due to the fact Jesus could do no more to prove Himself.

There is really no unpardonable sin, only a state of heart that refuses to believe.

 

[Rene Loup]

It is not that simple.

HOWEVER, if you are genuinely afraid about blaspheming The Holy Spirit, chances are, you did NOT do such a thing. God knows your heart.

Here is a mantra/prayer I use whenever I have this fear:

"The Holy Spirit, I love You, I respect You, and I appreciate everything You have done for me."

(Deuteronomy 6:5, Ephesians 4:25-32, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, 2 Peter 3:9)

People Say Jesus Has a Devil
20 Then Jesus went back home. But again a crowd gathered. There were so many people that Jesus and his followers could not eat. 21 His family heard about all these things. They went to get him because people were saying that Jesus was out of his mind.

22 And the teachers of the law from Jerusalem were saying, “Beelzebul is living inside him! He uses power from the ruler of demons to force demons out.”

23 So Jesus called the people together and used stories to teach them. He said, “Satan will not force his own demons out of people. 24 A kingdom that fights against itself cannot continue. 25 And a family that is divided cannot continue. 26 And if Satan is against himself and fights against his own people, then he cannot continue. And that is the end of Satan. 27 If a person wants to enter a strong man’s house and steal his things, first he must tie up the strong man. Then the thief can steal the things from the strong man’s house. 28 I tell you the truth. All sins that people do can be forgiven. And all the bad things people say against God can be forgiven. 29 But any person who says bad things against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. He is guilty of a sin that continues forever.”


30 Jesus said this because the teachers of the law said that Jesus had an evil spirit inside him.

Jesus’ Power Is from God
22 Then some people brought a man to Jesus. This man was blind and could not talk, because he had a demon. Jesus healed the man, and the man could talk and see. 23 All the people were amazed. They said, “Perhaps this man is the Son of David!”

24 The Pharisees heard the people saying this. The Pharisees said, “Jesus uses the power of Beelzebul to force demons out of people. Beelzebul is the ruler of demons.”

25 Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that is fighting against itself will be destroyed. And every city that is divided will fall. And every family that is divided cannot succeed. 26 So if Satan forces out his own demons, then Satan is divided, and his kingdom will not continue. 27 You say that I use the power of Satan when I force out demons. If that is true, then what power do your people use when they force out demons? So your own people prove that you are wrong. 28 But if I use the power of God’s Spirit to force out demons, this shows that the kingdom of God has come to you.

29 “If anyone wants to enter a strong man’s house and steal his things, first he must tie up the strong man. Then he can steal the things from the strong man’s house.

30 “If anyone is not with me, then he is against me. He who does not work with me is working against me. 31 So I tell you, people can be forgiven for every sin they do. And people can be forgiven for every bad thing they say. But if anyone speaks against the Holy Spirit, then he will not be forgiven. 32 Anyone who says things against the Son of Man can be forgiven. But anyone who says things against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. He will not be forgiven now or in the future.

People Know You by Your Words
33 “If you want good fruit, you must make the tree good. If your tree is not good, then it will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces. 34 You snakes! You are evil people! How can you say anything good? The mouth speaks the things that are in the heart. 35 A good person has good things in his heart. And so he speaks the good things that come from his heart. But an evil person has evil in his heart. So he speaks the evil things that come from his heart. 36 And I tell you that people will have to explain about every careless thing they have said. This will happen on the Judgment Day. 37 The words you have said will be used to judge you. Some of your words will prove you right, but some of your words will prove you guilty.”

Jesus’ Power Is from God
14 One time Jesus was sending a demon out of a man who could not talk. When the demon came out, the man was able to speak. The people were amazed. 15 But some of them said, “Jesus uses the power of Beelzebul to force demons out of people. Beelzebul is the ruler of demons.”

16 Other people wanted to test Jesus. They asked him to give them a sign from heaven. 17 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that is divided and fights against itself will be destroyed. And a family that fights against itself will break apart. 18 So if Satan is fighting against himself, then how will his kingdom last? You say that I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons. 19 But if I use the power of Beelzebul to force out demons, then by what power do your people force out demons? So your own people prove that you are wrong. 20 But if I use the power of God to force out demons, the kingdom of God has come to you!

21 “When a strong man with many weapons guards his own house, then the things in his house are safe. 22 But suppose a stronger man comes and defeats him. The stronger man will take away the weapons that the first man trusted to keep his house safe. Then the stronger man will do what he wants with the first man’s things.

23 “If anyone is not with me, he is against me. He who does not work with me is working against me.

The Empty Man
24 “When an evil spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry places, looking for a place to rest. But that spirit finds no place to rest. So it says, ‘I will go back to the home I left.’ 25 When the spirit comes back to that person, it finds that home swept clean and made neat. 26 Then the evil spirit goes out and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself. Then all the evil spirits go into that person and live there. And he has even more trouble than he had before.”

Nice Nick! I remember when......

I just wanted to be sure about something. A decade ago or more I thought I committed the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost, by cussing him out.

A couple of days ago, someone sent me a passage of the KJV of the bible. It is as follows :

Mark 3:28-29
<28> Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: <29> But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

Notice how it says, "in danger".
That means I haven't committed the unpardonable sin, but merely "in danger" of committing it. I understand now that it's the rejection of Jesus Christ/Holy Ghost.

Also, I understand that we have the SEAL of the Spirit of promise.
Once we get that seal, it can't be broken.

What do you guys think?

You forgot verse 30: He said this because they were saying, "He has an impure spirit."

They didn't believe that Jesus had power from God to give them forgiveness.

No, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is denial of Jesus Christ and his power. If you look at the passage carefully you will see that the people were claiming that the works of God were being done by the power of Satan. As long as you do not deny Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit you will be fine. If you have cursed him ask God for forgiveness.

Congratulations on coming to faith in Christ! Praise God! Let me know if I can do anything to help you in your walk.

I believe that it is the denial of The Holy Spirits ability to make a man holy.

When a person says that we will always sin or when a person says we will never be perfect, they are essentially saying with out knowing that Satan is greater than God. That the Holy Spirit is not able to defeat an evil spirit. God says all things are possible yet so many say its impossible for us to get there, to me, this is the ultimate smack in Gods face.
