I'm worried that in some way I might have committed blasphemy of the Holy Spirit due to some past experience in the Church Of God, where I was constantly being slain in the Spirit, speaking in tongues, and other things, and right now they're all starting to catch up with me, along with the fact that my stepdad who was a Christian at one point in his life had to question this, since it was happening almost every Church Service and when he would, I'd get on the defensive and yell at him over it. I really hope I've not blasphemed the Lord in any way at all, I'm just 23 and I want to turn my life around so I can make it to Heaven someday, not suffer in Hell! God is a good God, don't get me wrong, but I just don't take Christianity as "seriously" as others do, where they say "Well, thats a sin, or this is a sin" but I let God direct me. I just hope I've not screwed my chances of going to Heaven up at all.

Then I'm always asking myself: What if those moves of the Spirit weren't persuaded by the Spirit? What if it was just me, and I didn't know any better? Does that still count? I never want to make God angry with me. Then an incident where me and a friend got into a debate on homosexuality, and I lost it for a moment and blurted out "Well, the Bible says its ok to be gay!", not thinking or anything, not meaning to slander God's word. At the time I didn't know my Bible all that well, and I still don't, but I want to know it, and be passionate with it, and this time around make it real, not try and be condemned to Hell. I don't ever look to offend God because I fear Him and I know His name alone is powerful.
 
I wish I had more time. I will certainly pray for you in this, and if you like, post something in Christian Talk and Advice and we can discuss this as well as pray with you.

As far as worrying about commiting the unpardonable sin: One of the wisest pastors I've ever known said that if one is worried about whether he has committed this sin, it's is a sure sign that he has not. The reason being that if one has committed this sin, one would be past caring about it.

You care, therefore you haven't.
 
Keeping you in my prayers that God will lead & guide you in what is truth. Keep your faith & keep reading your bible.

I can understand how upsetting this can be. I myself am 20 and have a long time to meet with Jesus. The best advice I can give is to start SERIOUSLY PRAYING and reading your Bible. God will direct you with what He wants from you. Just look to Him for His will.

Praying for you...
 
Hello~

It is an old word, blasphemy that is, and not very well understood in today's language, since it's no longer used often. The Bible tells us a person can only blaspheme by rejecting the saving grace of Jesus Christ offered to all who will recieve His forgiveness by faith alone. When the Pharisees were accusing Jesus of having a demon He told them they were CLOSE to blasphemy. They were getting close to rejecting Jesus. All sins are forgiven, through our Lord Jesus Christ except the sin of unbelief~ because we must believe to be forgiven. Abide or continue, in the love of God.

It really is that simple, do you trust in Jesus' salvation His payment of all your sins? Then you have not committed blasphemy.

On another note, worry in a Christian can be caused by not having a close relationship with Him. The Lord would take away all our worry~ thru our living in the assurance that our Mighty Creator cares for us. Cast your cares on Him, He cares for you. Whenever you are worried, pray. It's like love replaces fear, and thanksgiving replaces complaining~ Prayer removes worry. Be careful [or worried] for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Prayer puts things right in our minds and hearts again, we find hope in trusting the Lord thru everything.

I pray for strength and encouragement to be graciously given to you through the power of God's Holy Spirit, that you may know how high wide deep and long is the Lord's love for you. That you will tell Jesus all your concerns, so He may give you His perfect peace. In Jesus name I ask, Amen.

Love ya always in Christ. bonnie

This might sound extremely crazy but Ive had so many experiences like yours, scared of committing blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, that Ive gotten to a point like the quote says above about how if your scared you have committed it then its almost sure you havent thing that every time I get really down and sad and hate sin so much I actually get somewhat excited and happy because I know that God is convicting me to come back and saying "Its ok, come back to me my precious child" or something like that. And that the point that Im dealing with so much fear of that sin proves that God is indwelling me to convince me I havent committed unpardonable sin or why else would I feel bad for it? Dont get me wrong Im not saying that I like it when I feel disconected with God because of sin but I like the fact that God is drawing me back in.
 
extremely sorrry for the crazy long run on sentence, I hope you could gramatically understand what I was saying lol because I couldnt figure out how to say it without pausing. P.S. I am not great at grammar.
 
Which brings up a good point- never let us forget that Satan will try & destroy your relationship with God. If he can get you to turn your back on God, reject Him, Jesus, etc he believes that he has succeeded in destroying your relationship with God. NEVER, EVER turn your back on God. Love Him all the days of your life!! God Bless.
