Tribulation (i.e. "the time of Jacob's trouble" -  Jeremiah 30:7, Daniel 12:1,
                Matthew  24:21).    Once  while  me  and  a  partner  tried  to  explain  eternal
                security  to  a  charismatic  cult  member  in  his  driveway,  a  family  member
                walked outside to interject, and if I remember correctly, the first words out

                of his mouth were "Turn to Hebrews 6 and Hebrews 10..."  If those passages
                mean what the cultists think they mean, then they can't possibly apply today.
                According to Jesus, the second half of a verse can apply 2000+ years after
                the  first  half  (Isaiah  61:1-2  with  Luke  4:16-21),  so  we  should  not  be
                surprised if the book of Hebrews (or any other book) switches back and forth
                between  Church  Age  doctrine  and  Tribulation  doctrine  without  warning.
                Read that last sentence again and never forget it.


                2 Timothy 2:15 "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
                that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

                Warn  the  lost  not  to  make  obscure  and  enigmatic  verses  (2  Peter  3:16)
                supersede simple and clear verses where one's soul is at stake.  Cults do that
                on purpose. (Ephesians 4:14)


                                           "THE UNPARDONABLE SIN"

                Charismatics and Pentecostals are taught to live in fear of committing the
                "Unpardonable Sin."

                Mark 3:28-30 "Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the
                sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
                But  he  that  shall  blaspheme  against  the  Holy  Ghost  hath  never

                forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Because they said,
                He hath an unclean spirit."

                In  the  Church  Age,  we  are  promised  that  "the  blood  of  Jesus
                Christ...cleanseth  us  from  all  sin"  without  exception.  (1  John  1:7)
                BLASPHEMY  OF  THE  HOLY  GHOST  IS  ONLY  UNFORGIVABLE
                WHILE  JESUS  IS  PHYSICALLY  ON  EARTH  (before  His  ascension  to

                heaven and after His return from heaven).  That's why He said "whosoever
                speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in
                this world, neither in the world to come." (Matthew 12:32b)  In that verse,
