Question #4 of questions asked to Christians:
My reference is the Bible Answer Book
The Unpardonable Sin
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. Matthew 12: 31-32
It is crucial to recognize that the unforgivable sin is not a single act but continuous, ongoing rejection.
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation 2 Corinthians 7:10
The Bible consistently teaches that those who spend eternity seperated from God do so becuse they willingly, knowingly, and continuously reject the gospel. John refers to this as the "sin leading to death". 1 John 5:16 in the sense that those who refuse forgiveness through Christ will spend eternity seperated from his grace and love.
