Some are blind through God's will, but some have the truth, also throgh God's will. Faith is a gift from God, no one gets it on their own. (Ephesians 2:8)

Let's go back and look at Acts 7, verse 10.

6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

Acts 7 Verse 51-54

and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

7:52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted ? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

7:53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

7:54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

As I said earlier, they could not resist the HS. The prophets brought them the truth, the Law brought them the truth, the Word brought them the truth, and Jesus brought them the truth. It was the Truth that the HS gave them by different messengers that they rejected and did so by killing the prophets and Jesus, as well as not keeping the Law, which is exactly the rest of Stephen's statement. .

sorry Acts 6:10

[Alamo-Girl]

You are the one insisting that that a person cannot resist the Holy Spirit. Now what are you saying, that they didn't resist the Holy Spirit but rather the Truth that he revealed? Jeepers!

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake. - Acts 6:10

Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye. - Acts 7:51

Both statements are true! They were unable to resist listening to Stephen and they were also guilty of always resisting the Holy Ghost after which allegation by Stephen they stoned him to sleep.
