"No other sin is considered to be as rebellious as is the sin of rejecting the Holy Spirit. it is considered to be the height of rebellion to reject the Holy Spirit, because he comes in the name and authority of the Father and the Son from whom and by whom he is sent. Therefore, to sin against him is to sin against the whole authority of God, all the love of the Trinity and all the utmost willingness of each person of the Godhead to take the place and office appointed him for our salvation. To reject the Spirit is to reject the love of the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
-John Owen, Communion With God, Pg. 171-172
