WHY DO YOU CONTRADICT THE HOLY SPIRIT? Is that not a Form of Blasphemy?
John 14:16-17 (NKJV)
16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever--
17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
Hebrews 13:5 (HCSB)
5 Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.
WHY DO YOU NOT BELIEVE WHAT THE BIBLE ACTUALLY SAYS ? ? ?
Those WHO have received HIS SPIRIT are the ONES WHO ARE TRULY BORN AGAIN,
THEREFORE THAT PROMISE IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
But You Want to include these Counterfeit Christians, perhaps because you are one ? ? ?
Matthew 7:20-23 (NKJV)
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'
23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you;
depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
There is your Counterfeit Christians, and they NEVER WERE SAVED OR BORN AGAIN. Everyone that is NOT BORN AGAIN, has that same phony relationship with the LORD, who will say to you 'I never knew you'.
That PHRASE is Synonymous with BORN AGAIN. SO you go to Church, that DOES NOT MAKE YOU BORN AGAIN. You have to have a inner, personal, LOVE, Relationship with the LORD JESUS CHRIST before you KNOW HIM INTIMATELY.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit
The Pharisees were attributing the work of Christ by the holy Spirit of God unto the power of the devil. <--end of story
This is a sate of unbelief....ONE who will not believe that JESUS of of GOD and doing his work by the power of the Holy Spirit is in a state of unbelief....ONE who will not BELIEVE cannot be FORGIVEN.
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is to EQUATE the work of Christ to the POWER of the DEVIL <--a state of UNBELIEF.......end of story!

Yeah ok, but I'm not going to crack jokes and write something off that is in the scripture just because I don't understand it. That goes right along with what you posted there. So I use caution because, I might just be attributing something to Satan that is really of God.
I think the Pharisee in Acts 5 put it best...It's best just to leave it alone if we don't understand it. If it is not of God it will come to nothing, but if it is then we might find ourselves fighting against God. I for one, sure don't want to be found on that end...just saying
Acts 5
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
