- Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It is an eternal sin.
- Unrepented sins are unforgivable, however, the opportunity to repent is always available.
BLASPHEMY AGAINST THE HOLY SPIRIT
Mark 3:22-30 The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul" and "He casts, out demons by the ruler of the demons." ........ Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" --- because they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
The sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, was that they were saying Jesus was casting out demons by the power of Satan, rather than by the power of the Holy Spirit.
UNREPENTED SINS OF NON-CHRISTIANS
Sins not repented, of, cannot be forgiven. (Luke 24:47 and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.) (Acts 2:38..Repent...) This repentance means to turn from sin and make the commitment to turn toward God.
John 8:24 'Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
Jesus said men have to repent of their unbelief or they would die in their sins. UNREPENTED SIN IS UNFORGIVABLE!
Mark 16:16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved..... (John 3:16, 1 Peter 3:21)
To refused to believe and be baptized so you can be saved, is sin. UNREPENTED SIN IS UNFORGIVABLE!
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;
To not acknowledge Jesus as Lord and believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus is sin. UNREPENTED SIN IS UNFORGIVABLE.
These unrepented sins can be repented of in a hour or less.
UNREPENTED SINS OF CHRISTIANS
Men are saved at the point of water baptism, if faith, repentance, and confession precede baptism; however, repentance does not end at baptism. Salvation is not a licence to sin.
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
UNREPENTED SIN IS UNFORGIVABLE!
