What is the only unpardonable sin?
Answer
"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaks a word against
the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be
forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." Matt. 12: 31, 32.
NOTE-As the Holy Spirit is the agent that convicts of sin and brings the offer of pardon through the Word,
the denial of the Spirit's work is the refusal of pardon. In other words, the only unpardonable sin is the sin
which refuses to be pardoned.
