The idea that I hold concerning the unforgivable sin is that sin against
the Holy Spirit will always produce negative consequences for the person
committing that sin. A genuine believer can sin against the Holy Spirit. That
sin, however, will be punished in some way. The sins we commit against
our fellow man may go unpunished, but if we disrupt the work of the Holy
Spirit in someone’s life or if we resist the work of the Holy Spirit in our own
life there will be a resulting consequence. In the passage of Matt. 12, the
disruption of the Holy Spirits work took the form of misrepresenting the
source by which the healings took place and thereby placing doubt in the
minds of the observers. Unbelievers may go on sinning against the Holy
Spirit and never see the consequences in their earthly existence (parable
of the rich man and Lazarus).
The words “this age” would be referring to the time when the observance
of the ceremonial laws to represent the Messiah’s perfect sacrifice and the
observance of the moral law, representing His perfect righteosness
were happening.
The words “age to come” would be referring to the time after the fall of
Jerusalem as described in Matt 24,25 and Luke 17:20-37.
