Anybody who has the Holy Spirit and can attest to the Holy Spirit can understand this verse fully. I will find it if you can't, somewhere in Romans it talks about once the Spirit is manifest in you, you feel the power. Those who were being healed could attest to this power. Anybody who experienced the Spirit and said its not true were blaspheming the Spirit. God explains stuff to me. I can tell when He is "talking" to me. I experience Him. If I having experienced Him, turn my back to Him and return to a life of sin, this is what blaspheming the Spirit and losing salvation is about. "Christ can not be crucified again" is what this refers to. I guess what you can call it is a baptism of the Spirit, not to be confused with accepting Christ and receiving salvation. If you try to explain a sunset to a blind person, you can describe it and they might get a word picture of it, but you have it to see it, to get it. Same thing, sort of.
There are false teachers who teach false doctrines. There are many types of individuals, sheep, shepherds and wolves are among them. Sheep follow who seems the wisest, even if its to the slaughter. God often chose the least likely candidates to lead His people. As much for the leaders to remain humble who knew where the wisdom originated and the people would be less inclined to elevate an instrument of God, as a god. If we were more interested in truth rather than letting someone else tell us what to think then there would be more agreement.
Sin is inherited from Adam. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to those who receive the word of God and believe.
Insolence is in the heart of a child that challenges everything without giving any serious thought to what he is doing. This is not for sport but matters of eternal consequence.

1 Corinthians 22 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[SUP][a][/SUP] [SUP]2 [/SUP]For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. [SUP]3 [/SUP]I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. [SUP]4 [/SUP]My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, [SUP]5 [/SUP]so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.

And The Word Became Flesh,
The word is God so God sent Himself into the
world in His Son. Scripture says that Jesus
did not come to condemn the world, rather He
came to save the world. God is love and he
who believes in love lives in God and God lives
in him (1John 3:16). We are saved by the love
of God so that we may become one in Him and
bring His love into the world just as Jesus did.
If we have love, we just don't need anything else.
If we don't have love then nothing else matters.
God's message is very simple yet somehow it
becomes entangled in legalism which ends up
taking His message of love away and lends
itself to becoming intellectualism rather than
penetrating the soul with His eternal love. I do
not believe that is why God sent His Son into
this world. Jesus fulfilled the old law; so what
would be the point of replacing it with another
set of laws. Scripture says "Love fulfils all the
law" so that all we really need is love of Him and
love of humanity.

I will agree with a lot of what you said and want to piggy back on it if I may. Agape love that we are called to is not just having a heart for other people. It is the duty to serve them. Loving God isn't just singing his praises, it is a surrender of will to use you as He chooses. Like you said, it is not an extra effort to not break rules, but rather the outpouring of kindness, forgiveness and generosity to all we meet, in His name. When we do this and possess this attitude to serve others rather than self then it is impossible for you to sin. If you are not doing anything bad, then there is no need to lie. If you love your neighbor then you will be happy that he lives in a nice house has a great marriage with a fantastic wife. Cheating on a spouse won't even appear on the radar.
