Which of the following is NOT among the admonitions our doctrine commands us to avoid?

The idea being tested is what the doctrine warns believers to avoid in order to stay in right standing with God. The notices to avoid include blaspheming against the Holy Ghost, crucifying the Son of God afresh, and tasting the powers of the world to come—all of which describe patterns of willful rejection of grace after having experienced it. Forgiving sins without repentance is not a warning the doctrine lists; forgiveness in this tradition comes through genuine repentance and faith. So, while the first three describe apostasy after exposure to grace, forgiving sins without repentance would undermine the required response of repentance, and thus it is not among the admonitions to avoid.
