For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father , the Word , and the Holy Spirit ; and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit , the water , and the blood ; and these three agree as one. I John 5:7‭-‬8 The 3 witnesses in Heaven   1. The Father prepared the body (Heb 10:5) 2. The Holy Spirit produced the body (Mat 1:20) 3. The Son possessed the body (Jn 1:14) The 3 witnesses on earth 1. The Spirit speaks of His incarnation - commencement of His Manhood 2. The water speaks of His baptism - commencement of His Servanthood 3. The blood speaks of His crucifixion - commencement of His High Priesthood

It is camparable to the unpardonable sin, which the pharisees ascribed the work of the Holy Spirit to the work of Satan. William Macdonald believes that it's similar to the sin leading to death (1Jn 5:16). Look at what seemingly are their signs of salvation, but take heart they are not able to deceive the eyes of God! They are not truly born again . Their actions are equivalent to crucifying Christ again and putting Him to an open shame. They only have things that accompany salvation (近乎得救), but not the substance thereof! (vs 9) See what vs 4 to 6 say about them: - enlightened but rejected the Light - tasted but never ate nor drank (Jn 6:35) - partakers but never were indwelt by the Holy Spirit  - tasted the good word but never bore fruits (Mt 13:20,21) - tasted the power of the millennium but did not believe (2Tim 3:5) - sinned wilfully (Heb 10:26) The conditions of the apost...
