Do you believe Saul of Tarsus blasphemed the Spirit?
did he persecute christians did he serve death warrants.. what was he doing on the road to damascus. i do not ask you to jump on my band wagon,, did i blaspheme the spirit in my old life style . did you? possible look i done my study and i stand where i am. you believe in praying in tongues --i dont believe its necessary. i am not questioning you. i really not sure why you asked this question, when i done used it. in another post
If simply rejecting Christ and His Gospel message was blasphemy against the Spirit, then Saul of Tarsus could have never been saved, because he could have never been forgiven.
wrong blaspheme of the spirit this side of the cross is unbelief
this is from Billy Graham :
The sin of the religious leaders, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, was a refusal to accept the witness of the Holy Spirit to who Jesus was and what He had come to do, and then submit their lives to Him. Jesus said concerning the Holy Spirit, “When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8). They chose rather to reject the Spirit’s witness to their sin and
to Jesus, and accused Him of being demon possessed!
The point for us is that if we have received Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we have not blasphemed the Holy Spirit; we have accepted His witness. One study Bible explains it as follows: “To commit this sin one must consciously, persistently, deliberately, and maliciously reject the testimony of the Spirit to the deity and saving power of the Lord Jesus.” If a person keeps doing that until death, there is no hope of forgiveness and eternal life in heaven.
Once again, the unpardonable sin is not some particularly grievous sin committed by a Christian before or after accepting Christ, nor is it thinking or saying something terrible about the Holy Spirit. Rather, it is deliberately resisting the Holy Spirit’s witness and invitation to turn
to Jesus until death ends all opportunity. i do not need Billy Graham to show what i believe . i simply did a google others believe different which is fine by me . i have broad shoulders can take it. .
to make this simple i have a brother who has been in ministry right at 40 years.. i respect him in the Lord.but there area few things i dint agree with him on. another man of God over 50 years years in the ministry deep respect . some things i dont agree with him... i am not going to haggle with you post after post.just because you think i am wrong
i think it was jack graham i heard on the radio say that . i draw the line there. imo there is possibility they was never saved . judas repented of himself. then commited suicide .peter repented with great remorse in turn preached at pentecost 3 thousand souls saved
2 .he rejected jesus persecuted Christians . he said he done it out of ignorance even though eh felt he wa ok.
