12.1.8.6 Sin that is not forgiven
There is a sin that is not forgiven: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Concerning this the Son of God said: "But He who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation" (Mark 3: 29). Those who consciously and intentionally depict the Holy Spirit as a devilish or misleading force for hostile and base motives are guilty of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit.
