Blaspheming the Holy Ghost
Why do message believers often fail to witness to non-believers about Christ? Some are afraid that they might evoke a bad reaction to the Gospel, thus causing a person to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Rather than risk this, they choose to remain silent.
But what does the Bible say about this?
Quotes of William Branham
293 Sure, Nazarene… There's nobody can say a word against them fine religious people; they're just as nice as they can be. Church of God, Nazarene, Free Methodist, those people are real, but when it comes down to the works of the Spirit, they say, "Oh, oh, that's the devil." And what'd they do there? Blaspheme the Holy Ghost. When they do that… Now, what is blasphemy? There's no forgiveness. Is that right? He that once enlightened, made partakers, and tasted of the heavenly gifts (partasted—tasted of God's sanctification: cleaned up from cigarettes, and filthy women, and all kinds of life like that)—and tasted of the heavenly things (to see that they'll walk up to that borderline like those spies did that eat part of the grapes… See? But what do they have to do? They had to break up their denomination to come over into this. See? Say—See?)—tasted of the heavenly gifts; seeing that they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and count the Blood of the covenant wherewith they were sanctified an unholy thing.
