Dr. Frederick K.C. Price teaches that the “sin unto death” occurs when a mature, enlightened believer consciously renounces Jesus Christ, creating an irreversible spiritual break for which prayer is ineffective.

He distinguishes this from the unpardonable sin, describing it as a non-believer’s rejection of the Holy Spirit’s witness to salvation.

Price rejects “once saved, always saved,” asserting that while salvation cannot be lost accidentally, it can be knowingly and willingly surrendered by someone who once truly believed.
