Only 1 SIN is unforgiveable....

Blasphemy Of The Holy Spirit....

Blasphemy means to speak against, or to defame.

Matt 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not unbelief.

In a misguided zeal to put pressure on people to convert some have sought to use fear of never being forgiven, holding over them the threat of their rejection of Christ being blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Nothing in Scripture supports this, and it causes far more mischief than it helps.

Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not testing or rejection of miraculous claims.

-1Thes. 5:21. Prove all things (in reference to spiritual gifts).

-1Jn. 4:1. Prove the spirits; because of many false prophets.

-Mt. 24:4, 11-13, 24-25. Take heed that no man deceive you.

-Mt. 7:21-27. Many will say, “Lord, Lord, We prophesied, cast out demons and did many wonderful works,” but He will say, “I NEVER knew you.”

-Rev. 2:2. Test those who claim to be apostles (cf. 2 Co. 12:12).

-2Thes. 2:3, 9-12. Do not be deceived by “wonders,” even in God’s house.

-Rev. 13:13-14. False prophets will deceive the world with great signs.

-Rev. 16:14. Demons will work miracles.

-Deut. 13:1-3. Even if miracles come to pass, don’t follow those who are for other gods.

-2 Tim. 3:8. Jannes and Jambres imitated signs of Moses (Ex. 7:11, 22; 8:7, 18).

Tara, since there is no sin in Heaven, there will be no sinners in heaven.

Those who have not confessed Christ as Lord, repented of their sins and been immersed for the forgivenss of those sins will be lost eternally.

Do you believe that?
