I have been told today that i am condemned and that i have denied the Holy Spirit because i hold a different opinion about things.

I was just repeating what the bible says...

We do need to put this into proper perspective to be useful though. Rightly dividing the word of truth has an essential place... surely if anyone gets the need for this (even if fumbling sometimes) it is Evangelicals? ... yes, both Catholics (who are also personal believers) and Evangelicals DO blaspheme against the Spirit in various ways. That’s called being a sinner, albeit a saved sinner. We do well to fight against the spirits that tempt us to such blasphemies. The devil may not own us now, God being vastly more powerful in salvation than he through sin, but he still visits our life tugging at it until we are safe in heaven. It’s still God that is responsible for our salvation, thankfully. That is how the audacious promise “ALL THINGS work together for good for those who love Him — for those who are called according to His purpose” can be made.

Feeling condemned by what scripture says is saying something I suppose.
