Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

What is it?
According to Matthew 12:32, &quot;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.&quot; (KJV)

&quot;[B]lasphemy of the Holy Spirit is saying that Jesus did His miracles by the power of the devil.&quot;

Others theologians believe that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit refers to final unrepentance. Some of these see a parallel in Hebrews 6:4-6 and 1 John 5:16;

See Matthew 12:22-32

Why is it unforgivable?
&quot;This is unforgivable because it struck at the very heart of the redemptive work of God in Christ. It struck at the very nature of Jesusâ€™ ministry of redemption, testimony, and teaching. Jesus was ministering in the power of the Holy Spirit Himself, fulfilling the divine plan of God to provide a sacrifice for our sins (John 3:16; 1 John 4:10). The Pharisees were attributing this to demonic activity.&quot;

Can believers commit it?
&quot;No. A believer cannot commit the unforgivable sin. How can someone who has been born again (John 3:7), made a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17), and received eternal life (John 10:27-28) actually commit the unforgivable sin? He cannot. Jesus Himself said that we have eternal life, not conditional life: &quot;My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.&quot; Besides, it says in 2 Cor. 5:17 that the Christian is a new creation in Christ. We are different, no longer slaves to the old nature (Rom. 6:14). We are regenerated by the Holy Spirit.&quot;
