Extraordinary Gifts

No. 331

The extraordinary gifts of the Spirit will be so far from profiting without that grace, which is the effect of the ordinary gifts of the Spirit, that it will but aggravate the condemnation of those who have them. Doubtless Judas' condemnation was exceedingly aggravated by his having been one who had had such privileges. And some who have had such extraordinary gifts have committed the sin against the Holy Ghost; and their having such privileges has been a principal thing which has rendered their sin the unpardonable sin, as appears from what the Apostle says, Hebrews 6:4–6, "For it is impossible for those, who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame." Those who fell away, of whom the Apostle here speaks, were those who apostatized from Christianity, who had formerly been professing Christians, and had the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost, as most Christians in that day had. And most of those things here mentioned, as their tasting of the heavenly gift and the like, mean the extraordinary gifts of the Holy Ghost, and not any saving influences of the Spirit. - WJE 8:162–63
