Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit receives sharper emphasis and greater coverage in the Gospels, and in more vivid language, than the doctrines of election, baptism, and communion. However, it is the single most distorted, rejected, and neglected major doctrine in the history of the church. All who call themselves Christians, even when they disagree on other things to the point of violence, somehow unite against Jesus on this doctrine. It is also the most dangerous doctrine to be treated this way. The sin results in an irrevocable verdict of damnation, so that repentance is outright denied to the person even though he might live for many decades after the offense and even if he cries out for mercy for the rest of his life.
Thus it is far more devastating to distort and neglect this doctrine than other issues such as predestination and eschatology. Any false step is terminal. Still, throughout history, people have wanted to change what it means to blaspheme the Spirit so that they can dismiss it and bury it in the sand. This makes them complicit. In fact, some of them do this so that they can criticize the works of the Spirit, such as healing the sick and speaking in tongues, and still assure themselves that they have not committed the unpardonable sin, but that they are even doing God a service. This makes them reprobate. According to Jesus, these people have never been Christians and they can never become Christians. They are damned. They will burn in hell forever.
