There are many sincere Christians who Satan and his demons have tormented spiritually and emotionally into thinking they have committed an unpardonable sin, during a moment of weakness, or confusion during trials. Maybe they said something concerning the Holy Spirit they wish they had not and now live in condemnation and continual demonic oppression sometimes. Which is a horrible thing, but that’s not what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is, but something very different.
The “unpardonable sin” was done in a cognizant way with calculation, knowing that Jesus was from God and even possibly the Messiah. Now after knowing all this they deliberately attributed Jesus’s power to Satan. What the Holy Spirit was doing through Jesus, they were attributing it to the Work of Satan. This was done in order to mislead others from the way of Truth and Salvation.
The religious establishment was up against their own Messiah wanting to keep power for their own self interests.
I along with many others believe this “unpardonable sin” was unique to the generation Jesus spoke to and only possible on that side of Pentecost. Let me explain from the Scripture.
This Unpardonable sin was a national sin a collective sin committed by Israel in rejecting Jesus as the “Promised Messiah” while He was physically present among them in the flesh. It was done by their seeing and rejecting His miracles being from God, blaming it on a demonic spirit. It was the Pharisee’s that lead the people to attribute the miracles that Jesus performed not to the Holy Spirit, but to an unclean spirit. This event is unique to the generation of His day, that while he was physically present, they watched Him do the miracles and attributed them to his being demon possessed.
Blasphemy of the spirit has nothing to do with being saved and losing your salvation, those who blasphemed were unbelievers not believers.
Again, keep in mind that this is not an individual sin but a national sin by a nation. This did not mean that no individual could be saved because many were saved who previously spoke this. Even the apostle Paul formerly Saul a Pharisee, killed Christians and very well could have been on this decision of rejection. As a nation their judgment was imminent which took place approximately 40 years after his death and resurrection. As individuals he gave them a way out.
So, if you're a believer and wondering if you have committed this type of sin today, rest assured you have not.
No matter what position you take on the view of the unpardonable sin, we know for certain it is done in a cognizant way with calculation and not some spontaneous accident. We also know that Jesus died for all sins and “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” If any man repents of any sin, he can be saved. There is no exception clause in Scripture. To deny that the Blood of Christ atones for all sin is error. John said, “but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 – All sin means All sin.
