"In our Gospels the unpardonable sin against the Holy Spirit was committed by attributing Jesus' exorcisms to demonic power. But hw might that sin be committed today? In the NT church the sin was committed by refusing to acknowledge divinely sanctioned prophetic gifts (See Didache 11). Indeed, that was the unanimous interpretion of the sin in the first 2 centuries. So today, so called Christians who attribute the ECSTATIC spiritual gifts to Satan are in real danger of committing this sin!"
So the people who en mass perform these types of behavior THINK they are exercising the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Mr. Hermit, as you can see above, says that if we attribute those "gifts" and that behavior to a DIFFERENT spirit we are in real danger of blaspheming the H. S.

I don't read Didache so dunno
not sure why he refers to 'ecstatic' spiritual gifts...does he mean all or only certain ones? don't know that either
there is also discernment of spirits...that has to be there for a reason...
I would think
maybe he can clarify better
