If I understand scripture correctly, there is only one unpardonable sin. The sin of unbelief. I can be wrong of course. What say you?
I believe that since that is the only sin that the Holy Spirit need to convict any sinner by.
John 16:[SUP]7 [/SUP]Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.[SUP] 8 [/SUP]And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:[SUP]
9 [/SUP]
Of sin, because they believe not on me;[SUP]10 [/SUP]Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;[SUP]11 [/SUP]Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Those who do not believe are already condemned and so that is the sin the Holy Spirit will convict of is the sin of unbelief in Jesus Christ for they could have been saved by believing in Him.
John 3:[SUP]18 [/SUP]He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
If any one thinks a believer can commit that kind of sin against the Holy Spirit, and be condemned as they will not be forgiven for it, then Jesus words would have been broken in John 3:18 as well as the one below.
John 6:[SUP]39 [/SUP]And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.[SUP] 40 [/SUP]And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
However, there is a sin unto death; as in physical death absent of the consequence of eternal separation from God. There is a risk of eternal condemnation by being rejected to be received as a vessel unto honor in His House and instead be received as a vessel unto dishonor in His House. No one received as a vessel unto dishonor can ever change from that eternal state into becoming that vessel unto honor for after death, comes judgment.
But any sin can be forgiven except the sin of unbelief.
Former believers are still saved because He still abides ( 2 Timothy 2:10-13 ), but they are still called to depart from iniquity so they can be received as a vessel unto honor in His House too ( 2 Timothy 2:18-21 )
I digress. I agree with you.
