I have a question about blasphemy...

[daniel neverson]

If a person denies the holy spirit, then repents, will he be forgiven?

There is no biblical support for a believer committing this sin. It just hasn’t happened. Also, if you are worried that you may have committed the sin and can’t be forgiven, then don’t be concerned. If you are worrying about it, then you haven’t committed it. If you are worried about it, then that is a sign that you have not committed it. If you had, you wouldn’t be concerned.

This ^ sums it up pretty nicely methinks

• Denying the Holy Spirit is called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.
• Jesus said (Mark 3: 28-29) 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
• When you believe and through your faith, God saves you by his grace. The moment you are saved, you are indwelt by the Holy Spirit and you become a true Christian. If you do not believe and subsequently saved, you are not indwelt with the Holy Spirit or therefore, you have committed the only unpardonable sin or blaphemy of the Holy Spirit.
• All nonbelievers deny the Holy Spirit. Once before you were saved, you denied the holy spirit. Once anyone repents for being a sinner, believes and accepts jesus Christ as their personal savior their forgiveness is complete. Your question: " If a person denies the holy spirit, then repents, will he be forgiven? "......is a resounding yes!
• Now, if your talking about a Christian, who denies the Holy Spirit and then repents can they be forgiven? I think the answer here is were you a true Christian to start with or why would you be a Christian then deny the Holy Spirit? According to God your salvation is secure: Romans 11:29 For God's gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. Since God's grace and Holy Spirit are gifts then how can you deny something God does not take back?
