It is also attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to satan as in United in christ's posts.
Which is where Jesus invoke the unpardonable sin upon their heads.
Jesus doesn't approve of what people like UwC do. It is sure spiritual suicide
I have one hope for some who speak evil of things they don't know, don't understand, and haven't experienced. That is this...
A person who has never tasted vanilla ice cream cannot actually speak with verity against the taste of vanilla ice cream...because they're only speaking against the IDEA (personally fabricated false knowledge, not actual knowledge) of the taste of vanilla ice cream.
Saul (eventually the Apostle Paul) caught, tortured and caused the murder of actual Holy Ghost Christians (the speaking in tongues kind... one of which he later became himself). Do you think that in his handling of those first Holy Ghost Christians that he failed to speak against (the idea of) what spirit they claimed to have?
That same Saul, now called Paul, even explains how he was able to receive mercy instead of assured destruction, saying in
1 Timothy 1:12-13 KJV:
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting
me into the ministry; [13]
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it
ignorantly [without ACTUAL knowledge] in unbelief.
There are some sins that cannot be committed without first having
actually tasted of spiritual things. Just as there are some blessings that are unavailable without first having sin. Such as:
Psalm 32:1-2 KJV
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. [2] Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. <-- Think about it. You are not qualified to receive the blessing of verse 1 unless you first
have sin.)
Paul escaped the verdict of "blasphemy of the Holy Ghost" because he was unqualified (by way of lack of actual experience/knowledge) to actually speak against it. As far as I understand it, He could actually only speak against the idea of the Holy Ghost. I think that's a safety measure God put in.
So what that means, by extension, is that blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is only available to those who ACTUALLY have the Holy Ghost... and it is currently unavailable to those who only THINK they have the Holy Ghost.... except perhaps if they were to stand in God's presence on judgement day and still claim that they have what they don't have. (Like the guy who lyingly told David that he'd stood on a wounded king Saul to cause his death. The bible says king Saul died in a different way, but the guy was given the punishment worthy of what he'd falsely claimed to have accomplished.)
When someone is actually given the Holy Ghost, it provides a WITNESS (tongues) which makes it manifest that the person actually has received it. (see
Acts 2:4, Acts 10:44-46, Acts 19:6, Acts 2:39) The actual recipients cannot
lightly (ignorantly) speak against what they've actually been given. They've TASTED, so their words are qualified. (
Hebrews 6:4, Romans 1:19,20)
This is rather heavy stuff. I advise a significant amount of prayer and a good grasp on joy before people dive into that topic. It's better to move in a direction towards light, rather than to look deeply into the greatest darkness.
Love in Jesus,
