When He says we are sealed with the Holy Soirit until the day of redemption, being the guarantee of our inheritance, He means it.
Not if a "saved" person decides to start blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Gifts can always be abused after receiving them, hence the instructions Paul was giving in the rest of Ephesians.
Also, a careful examination and analysis of the Churches (Made up of individuals) in the beginning of Revelation should be a wake up and stay awake call.

A saved person who has the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit is not going to be blaspheming Him.

That's what our FR Catholics say all the time - Jesus gave 'authority' to Peter and the rest AND they taught everyone else the True Stuff.
I still wonder just how those seven Catholic churches managed to go off the rails so darned fast...
