For how can. "Here is what you face if you do not go forward! God's mercy does not fail, and we are sure of that! But there is a sin that cannot be forgiven, not because God would not forgive it, but because the one who does it does not believe he has sinned." (See notes on Matthew 12:31-32). To repent again? These are not inactive members (backsliders], but apostates who have repudiated Jesus. They Have destroyed their moral ability to repent! They were once. These had been genuine Christians. They had seen God's light (John 8:12) and reached out through faith to seize it and make themselves part of it! They tasted. They had experienced in their own lives the effect of this newness in Christ. And received their share. Every Christian is a Spirit-filled Christian. Compare Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. But it is possible to restrain the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19). God does not save you against your will!
