Pastor I found the 7 ins against the HS if you are interested what do you think
Taken from "Handfuls on Purpose" by Even Dr. Ironside(May15 2009)
Blasphemed by the presumption of men No forgiveness for this sin\Matt12:31,32 It is called the unpardonable sin , the most awful sin that can be committed. Mark 3:22-30 Jesus cast out demons by the power of the HS – The scribes said this miracle was by Satan's power. Beware of belittling the work of the HS.
Insultedby the pride of men Heb.10:29 The HS presents the atoning work of Christ to ÔÇÿn sinner. If the sinner refuses to believe or accept it , he is insulting the HS. It is counting the death of Christ as a common thing, the death of an ordinary man. To deny the deity of Christ and the preciousness of the blood is to despise the witness of the HS.1John 5:8
Vexed by the disobedience of men Isa. 63:9,10 The root of vexation is rebellion . It is caused by murmuring and complaining. To refuse to accept the place in life that He gives and our assigned place in the Body of Christ but to continuously complain vexes Him to the point of righteous vexation. After repeated warnings, multiplied blessings plus abundant light and knowledge, to persist in evil, to still ignore Him is surely vexing the HS.
Resisted by the unbelief of men Acts.7:51 We resist the HS when we doubt the Word of God Heb. 3:19 Unbelief causes men to resist. Often the Spirit quickens the conscience to do right but if we deliberately resist His pleading and leading we are actually manifesting unbelief. We must cease all resistance and cast out unbelief.
Tempted by the insincerity of man Acts 5:1-9 A man is guilty of this when he pretends to his brethren that he is wholly devoted to God when he is actually indulging in secret sin, withholding from God. Bewareof a profession that is more holy before men than it is before the Lord. Psa.51:10. 11Kings 5:25-27
Quenced by the prejudice of men 1Thess.5:25-27 This is a solemn command . The thought in quenching is the suffocation of a fire in Isa.4:4 , Spirit of burning. Matt12:20 , Eph. 6:16 Quench means to stifle,silence, .squash, put out, lets not do that to the pleading of the Spirit . When He speaks to us through the word or conscience we must obey, irrespective of the cost. Let us be careful in criticizing the manifestation of the Spirit in the testimony of some believer, or the sermon of some preacher lest we be guilty of quenching Him.
Grieved by the frivolity of men Eph.4:30 The Spirit trusts us to resist sin and obey the Lord. If we fail He is made sad.The spirit is pictured as a sensitive dove, one that is easily frightened away. Let us watch the door of our lips. We cannot afford trifle with sin and grieve Him.
Conclusion:
Resisting has to do basically with the regenerating work of the HS.
Grieving with the indwelling of the HS.
Quenching has to do with the endurement for service.
Let us live in constant communion with the Holy Spirit.
God bless you Pastor .,
Regards, John
