Not blaspheming against the Holy Spirit would be a strong contender.
And blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is PRECISELY what happens when one is going to the wrong church.
You imply belief in Jesus 'indemnifies' a believer, in spite of attendance/membership/fealty to a heretical Christian schismatic church.
That view is heretical in and of itself.
Heretics don't go to heaven, they burn, and they burn forever.
Ahhh, No.. It's not up for Debate.
Jesus Himself Identifies God's 2 Greatest Commands:
Mat 22:34 The Pharisees learned that Jesus had made the Sadducees look so foolish that they stopped trying to argue with him. So the Pharisees had a meeting. 35 Then one of them, an expert in the Law of Moses, asked Jesus a question to test him. 36 He said, “Teacher, which command in the law is the most important?”
37 Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and most important command. 39 And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor[d] the same as you love yourself.’[e] 40 All of the law and the writings of the prophets take their meaning from these two commands.”
If you Love God with all your being then you would not blaspheme the Holy Spirit.
Two, the Holy Spirit is not the church. WE Are the church. If you are going to a Jesus Christ centered Church and believe this church will help you full fill those two commands then it doesn't matter who's name is on the building.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is uniquely a nonredeemable sin.
If God can grant forgiveness for all other sins, it behooves you to take His prohibition against blaspheming the Holy Spirit uniquely seriously, over and above all other transgressions.
Misconstruing blaspheming the Holy Spirit is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
