What does the Bible say about resisting the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible warns against being stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart, indicating those who resist the Holy Spirit's truth.

In Acts 7:51, Stephen addresses his audience, calling them 'stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears' for always resisting the Holy Spirit. This highlights a significant spiritual condition where individuals may hear the truth yet reject it, failing to allow it to penetrate their hearts. The resistors of the Holy Spirit display a form of belief that remains superficial, valuing the word in their minds without genuine acceptance in their hearts, similar to the people who confronted Stephen, who could not oppose his wisdom but still chose to reject the truth.
