Hi CaseyH,
First of all, the unforgiveable sin is when a person claims someone or something has done things that the Holy Spirit has done. God is the Holyb Spirit. For example, He became the Father of Jesus , according to Mt.1:20 andLk.1:35. Claims by the Jews that Joseph was Jesus father instead of the Holy Spirit, is blasphemy and an unpardonable sin. As it is with Atheists, who hold to evolution as to the beginings of the world and universe, rather than the creation of God, the Holy Spirit.
As to your fear of not being saved, may I ask you where you believed in Jesus Christ, confessed your sin of disbelief and received Him as your Lord and Savior? You might review the following:
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 Jn.1:9.
Review also the promises recorded in Jn.3:16, Rom.10:9-10 and Eph.1:13-14.

Technically, there are no facts, its all belief... And your not guilty of committing the unforgivable sin (Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit). You would need to deny Christ in the hour of temptation for that (Matthew 10:20). Christ is your best friend, not your accuser, so relax and keep plugging along 
Whatever happens, you need to find a church and friends who spend more time on Jesus than worrying about demons.
OCD, scrupulosity are forms of mental illness and NOT demon posession! That means, there is probably a strong genetic component and also environment is a factor. When you are young, there are ways to extinguish or get rid of this behaviour. That requires going to a doctor and some kind of therapy.
As I said, my mom has OCD and I wouldn't wish it in my worst enemy, plus it only gets worse the more you give into the compulsions that drive it! Now is the time to seek medical help, not when you are 87!
PS I'm lucky, I didn't inherit this gene!

Thank you, I was 6 years old when i think i got saved. I was about to leave for school and something just happened inside me and i dont know what but i went into the living room and got on my knees and begged God to protect me from hell and satan. I asked Him to save me from those things. That is all i can remember though.
Here is an excerpt from George Whitefield:
And think not that God is angry with you for these distracting, though ever so blasphemous thoughts. No, He knows it is not you, but Satan working in you; and therefore, though God will certainly punish him; yet reward and pity you. And though it is difficult to make persons in your circumstances to believe so; yet I do not doubt that you are more acceptable to God when performing your holy duties in the midst of such involuntary distractions, than when you are wrapped up by devotion, as it were, into the third heavens; for when the unwanted thoughts come you are suffering, as well as doing the will of God.
Many people including myself have had to deal with these thoughts. Charles Spurgeon himself dealt with them.The devil may be like a roaring lion but he is toothless.

Hi CaseyH,
At the age of 6, you were not yet at the age of accountability and could not possibly have understood the significance of what believing/receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior meant, except what you had heard from your parents, or whoever it was that took you to Sunday School/Church.
May I suggest that you seriously consider a renewal of your belief that Jesus paid your sin debt, and mine, in full, by His shed blood on a cross, as the Son of God, giving you eternal life that He promised us, in Jn.3:16, and forgiving your sin of disbelief. And that no one can snatch you out His hand, or the hand of His Father, and our Father, in heaven, as recorded in Jn.10:27-29.
In acting on the above, Jesus will immediately give/baptize you with the Holy Spirit, according to Mt.3:1 The Holy Spirit will then tach you all things, including things yet to come, according to Jn.16:13.
IMO, the above will give you complete peace of mind.
I hope this helps.

I just have ups and downs. I am just determined to trust that Jesus really did die and rise again and I am trying to trust in that alone for my salvation. Sometimes I just feel like I'm not trusting enough. As far as my evil thoughts go they are those similar to what the Pharisees said. Lately when I have the thoughts I try to replace them with love, joy, peace. I have read where people with this problem say that reading and memorizes Bible verses help replace the evil thoughts. I have read that this is a symptom of OCD, which I have never been officially declared but strongly believe I have. Thank y'all for your prayers and encouragement. I will continue to pray that Jesus will have mercy on me for these things and that He will strengthen me.
