thank you. I'll listen to the given sermons though :D But yeah, everything I heard so far is the same I have always heard, I think I am a lone gun in my thinking at times.

It is said to be the only unforgivable sin. But all our sins are Forgiven through the death and resurection of Christ Jesus, so to my mind, the only unforgivable sin, the Blasphamy of the Holy Spirt can only be a failure to belive and or accept Christ in your heart. What do you think?

Blasphemy of God and Christ is an outward sign of an inward resistance against the same. One who resists the Holy Spirit, like the men of Acts 7:51 did, are those who resist the gospel, instead of obeying the gospel.Romans 10:16, "But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?"2 Thes 1:8, "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ"1 Peter 4:17, "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"Scripture teaches these that do not give in to the saving grace of God by repentance and faith in Christ's works, which is brought by the Holy Spirit through the gospel, cannot be saved.The gospel is the Holy Spirit manifested in the voice of His saints. That is why Jesus said His voice is spirit, and His words are life. That's why salvation is by grace through faith, and faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. So one who blaspemes against the Holy Ghost, is the one who resists the saving grace of God, the words of life, the preaching of the cross. It is one who does not repent and put his faith in Christ, even after he is convicted by the Holy Ghost.
