No one is beyond the reach of God's grace.  Anyone can repent as long as they have breath!  Jesus forgave a thief as he hung beside Him on a cross!  That's just how big God's grace is!!!!  According to the Bible, the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.  Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is simply denying Him until death, never acknowledging or confessing that you are a sinner in need of Jesus Christ as your Savior. I hope this helps and gives you some peace of mind.

Blasphemy is attributing "evil" to God, which many fundamentalist Christians do, in a roundabout way, by believing the hype that God is jealous, vindictive, cruel and capricious (all human - not divine - attributes), or that he "allows bad things to happen".

Jesus mentions a sin that is unforgivable in Matt. 12:31-32 and calls it blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.\n\nNo. 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: "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." 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.\n     There is no biblical support for a believer committing this sin. It just hasn’t happened. Also, if you are worried that you may have committed the sin and can’t be forgiven, then don’t be concerned. If you are worrying about it, then you haven’t committed it. If you are worried about it, then that is a sign that you have not committed it. If you had, you wouldn’t be concerned.

It all depends upon what you mean by a "religious spirit". To some people a "religious spirit" is a self righteous, legalistic and intolerant spirit that comes from the Devil and masquerades as the Holy Spirit.\n\nBut it sounds like you mean if a person receives a communication from God about how to live their life. If that's the case then if the directions glorify God and not their flesh or their ego then it is probably from the Holy Spirit.

This is bad theology concocted by the enemy to turn the focus away from Christ.  You will not find this in the bible at all.  You are right when you say that it came from crazies.  NEVER let anyone or any doctrine turn your eyes off the true and ONLY Savior...Jesus Christ\n\n1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils...\n\nHbr 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines.

Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit)\nthe third Person of the Trinity\n\nHis personality is proved…\n\n…from the fact that the attributes of personality, as intelligence and volition, are ascribed to him (John 14:17, 26; 15:26; 1 Cor. 2:10-11; 12:11). \n\nHe reproves, helps, glorifies, intercedes (John 16:7-13; Rom. 8:26).

by its very definition blaspheming is the defamation of the name of gods or a god, the doubting of the existance of a god or gods, or the use of a gods name or things related to and connected the god in a profanity. it is something which is of course directly linked to religion and the belief in it. for example, if you believed in a god, but felt the need to speak ill of him/her/it for one reason or another, then of course this would be blasphemy in its purest and most basic form, but if you do not believe in a god, but yet you use their name, or names associated with them in swear words and profanities, then in my view this is not blasphemy on the part of the person speaking. as i believe that you must first believe in the god or the faith in order to blaspheme.... but turning this around, if these words were said to a person who DID believe in the god etc, then it would of course be interpreted as blasphemy, as they would have no idea about the other persons beliefs, and it would also be insulting to their own beliefs.\n\ni dont believe that you can blaspheme against a god you dont believe in, by definition, and by obeying the situations under which you can blaspheme.... its impossible. \n\ni do believe however that you can criticise and 'make fun of' the god, which is simply expressing your views, and is NOT blasphemy in the views of the person in question.\n\nin conclusion, you must first believe in a god in order to blaspheme against them, if not, then its not technically blasphemy.... eg someone may believe that micky mouse is a god, but if i say that i think micky mouse is an idiot, that doesnt mean that i am blaspheming.... you may believe that a god exists or not in your own view... thats why we all have minds of our own, but if you did not believe that a god existed then you couldnt be blaspheming, as there is no 'one god' so, blasphemy is a matter of personal opinion, and can only really happen when 2 ppl of the same religion are quarelling and a profanity including their god is mentioned..... it is something that follows a strict rule, you must believe to blaspheme....

I would say that they are all equal  but one... Jesus said that anyone who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.\n\nMark 3:28-30\n28I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." \n\n 30He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit."

Jesus actually said:\nMatthew 12:30-32\n30 Anyone who is not with Me is against Me, and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters.\n31 Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.\n32 Whoever 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 one to come.\n\nSo Blasphemy is not the unforgivable sin, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin.\nBlasphemy of the Holy Spirit is:\n1) Seeing the Works of God, and attributing them to Satan.\n2) Constantly refusing to allow God access to your heart and life (refusing to admit your constant need for God's grace and mercy, freely provided through Jesus Christ).\n\nIf you are still worried about whether or not you have committed the unforgivable sin - You haven't yet! It's when you no longer care whether you have or not!

"Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven" (Matt. 12:31). What is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Why is this an unpardonable sin? \n\nWhat is Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit?\nThe word blasphemy (blasphemia), "impious and reproachful speech injurious to the divine majesty" (Thayer), in this context denotes an attitude of "defiant irreverence." The scribes who accused Jesus were guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit because they defied the truth. They treated his miracles with something worse than indifference; they blasphemously attributed them to Satan. They were like those condemned by Isaiah the prophet (5:20): "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Philo thus commented that those who blaspheme against the divine and ascribe the origin of evil to God and not man can expect no forgiveness. By accusing Jesus of being in league with Satan when he was really acting through the power of the Holy Spirit, they had blasphemed the Spirit, hardening their hearts against the Spirit's influence. \n\nWhy is This an Unpardonable Sin?\nJesus said that every other sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven. "And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him . . ." (Matt. 12:32). Christ referred to himself as the "Son of Man" to emphasize his humanity. To speak evil words against Jesus as a man working among men, though deplorable, was an evil that could be forgiven. The Son of Man in his earthly ministry was as liable to misunderstanding and ill treatment by others as any new messenger. When the source of evil speaking against Christ is ignorance, misconception, or ill-informed prejudice, then that blasphemy is as pardonable as any sin. Men could repent of their careless neglect of his work or their mistaken opposition to it, and when they did repent, they were forgiven. There are many examples in the New Testament of people who first opposed Jesus but later turned to accept him. Peter, perhaps through fear, denied Jesus in his hour of trial (Mark 14:71-72), but he found forgiveness, and when he was restored he was able to strengthen others (Luke 22:31-32). Paul marveled at the mercy extended to him even though he had been "a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor" (1 Tim.1: 12-16, emphasis mine, dwp). The apostle described himself as the "chief of sinners" to show, in fact, the perfect patience of Christ as the Savior of all. \n\nThe person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, how ever, places himself beyond the reach of forgiveness. This is true because the Holy Spirit is the agent in the revelation of divine truth (2 Sam. 23:2; John 15:26; 16:13; Eph. 6:17; 2 Pet. 1:21). It is only through the work of the Spirit that we come to know of God, our sins, the atonement provided through Christ, and our need for repentance and obedience. Blasphemy against the Spirit is unforgivable because its source is a heart of malice, selfish preference of wrong over right and evil over good, and a willful refusal to believe. The Pharisees had revealed that their hearts were evil, and Jesus called them a "brood of vipers" (Matt. 12:34). Such a perverse spirit consciously and deliberately rejects the truth and thus the salvation it brings. "Either in this age, or in the age to come" (Matt.12:32) simply means "never." In Mark's account, Jesus called it an "eternal sin" (3:29). As long as a person persists in this state, genuine repentance is impossible. There is no room in this person's heart for penitence, which is a prerequisite for forgiveness. His sin is unpardonable simply because he is unwilling to trav
