Quote by John MacArthur
“Cuando los fariseos le atribuyeron la obra del Espíritu a Satanás (Mateo 12.24), el Señor les advirtió que semejante blasfemia de un corazón endurecido era imperdonable. Ananías y Safira cayeron muertos instantáneamente después de mentirle al Espíritu Santo. Como resultado de ello «vino gran temor sobre toda la iglesia, y sobre todos los que oyeron estas cosas» (Hechos 5.11). Simón el Mago, cuando pidió comprar el poder del Espíritu con dinero, recibió esta severa reprimenda como respuesta: «Tu dinero perezca contigo, porque has pensado que el don de Dios se obtiene con dinero» (Hechos 8.20). El autor de Hebreos, al escribirles a personas en peligro de insultar al Espíritu de gracia, les dio a sus lectores esta sobria advertencia: «¡Horrenda cosa es caer en manos del Dios vivo!» (Hebreos 10.31). Es evidente que el tercer miembro de la Trinidad resulta peligroso para cualquier persona que le ofrezca fuego extraño.”
