The Word of God says that there are only two situations in which a man or woman cannot receive forgiveness. The first and most common is when they are in a state of unforgiveness. That is to say that they have been wronged (or sinned against) and they refuse to forgive the person, which we find in Mark 11:25.

The second, which is actually quite a rare occurrence, is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.

How do I know if I have committed this sin?

It is VERY difficult to commit this sin. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost implies that the blasphemer has been granted absolute knowledge of the Divine and a confirmation of acceptance by the Son of Man....by being "caught up" into heaven in vision and receiving such confirmation....or being "sealed unto salvation" by the direct declaration of Deity....God himself...through his testator...the Holy Ghost.
Once in this blessed state...not given to you by an act of any man or woman...but given to you by the power and authority of the giver of all good gifts.....you must then choose to walk away from it and deny it in order to commit this horrible sin.
If you deny this absolute knowledge after receiving such a powerful witness....you have refused a gift in absolute awareness of its value and meaning....and cannot again apply to receive it. You have denied the absolute gift of the Holy Ghost...the absolute witness of the divinity of the Son of God and your acceptance by Him. At this point you become lost to salvation forever...permanently negating the whole reason for having been born in the first place...Judas Iscariott is a Christian example of this state of despair.....and what did he do after he blasphemed against the Holy Ghost...he died of grief and guilt.
Key point...you can't blaspheme against the Holy Ghost in ignorance....you can't casually commit a sin so grieveous as to cause the loss of your salvation forever.....it takes work and real knowledge of the stakes involved.
Sooooo.....unless you have gained the company of men such as Abraham, Moses, and others whose lives were elevated to the final stage of Faith....to the level of direct revelation from God and His Confirmation of your state of grace through His son......unless you are in this special company of leaders and servants, you are incapable of committing this sin.....You are like the rest of the followers and family of the Children of God....still winding our way through life learning line upon line, precept upon precept....until the perfect day.

Just strive to learn the heart and mind of Jesus Christ.....and then let that be your guide in life.
If you understand His heart and Mind...you will be guided to all truth, and that path will lead to further light and knowledge...which will ultimately have you standing in front of a person you know really well. When He sees himself in you....that's when you have figured it out. Don't concentrate on ways to fail....focus on ways to live the abundant life.

The case of "blasphemy adverse to the Spirit" interior the recent testomony is suggested in Mark 3:22-30 and in Matthew 12:22-32. The time period blasphemy may be many times defined as "defiant irreverence." we may keep on with the time period to such sins as cursing God, or willfully degrading issues touching on to God. it truly is likewise attributing some evil to God, or denying Him some good that we ought to continually characteristic to Him. this situation of blasphemy, even with the undeniable fact that, is a particular one, called "THE blasphemy adverse to the Holy Spirit" in Matthew 12:31. In Matthew 12:31-32, the Pharisees, having witnessed irrefutable evidence that Jesus became operating miracles interior the capacity of the Holy Spirit, claimed particularly that the Lord became possessed by the demon "Beelzebub" (Matthew 12:24). Now word that in Mark 3:30 Jesus is rather particular about what precisely they did to commit "the blasphemy adverse to the Holy Spirit."

It is doing evil in God's name. For instance if you murder and say it is God's will; or you use your position of authority in a church to exploit others sexually or financially. By doing evil in the name of God, you have damaged, not only your own spirit, but also the relationship others might have with God.

those who denies the salvation plan of God through Jesus is blasphemy. (to deny Jesus's mission of defeating death).

satan would do any thing to prove that Jesus never paid price for our sins so that all souls would be destroyed.

I think this is to say that the works of the Spirit is of the Devil, when you know better.

I like how it's not rape or murder or genocide even. No, it's bad-mouthing the holy spirit.
