Hebrews 10:29 indicates that the author is thinking of apostasy, the formal renunciation of one's religion.

With love in Christ.

The verse says:
"For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins." Hebrews 10:26.

Translation:
Since the writer of Hebrews includes himself in the group he is addressing in the "we" of the verse, we know that the verse is addressed to Christians. What the verse is saying is that even if we sin willfully as Christians, we are still saved. There is "no more sacrifice" or no additional sacrifice available or necessary than the one-time sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary.
Hope this helps.

But also bear in mind that God knows your intentions before you do. You shouldn't keep committing the same sin intentionally over and over again....lest' you loose sincerity, He's not a stupid God.
Ignorance is bliss...but once you come into understanding, you will be judged on what you know...

Hebrews 10:26 reads, "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins," and it refers to making a choice to turn our backs on God. All the head knowledge, the intellectual knowledge of God, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit won't do a thing to get us into heaven with Him (=the Holy Trinity=Them).

In other words, the sacrifice -- Jesus' death on the cross for our sins -- has already been made. If we choose to not accept Him, that is unpardonable because we're choosing sin, separation from God, and we'll carry that choice into eternity with us.

The only unpardonable sin mentioned in any scripture is that of denying the Holy Ghost.

Hebrews 10:26 (New International Version)

26If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left,

The only unpardonable sin is blaspheming against the Holy Spirit. This is referring to unrepentant, willfull and oft repeated sin. Both of these acts are rebellious and evil and if you truly have been filled with the Holy Ghost, would be hard to do.

"For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowldedge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins."

I couldn't give you a complete answer. But the first part suggests that once we know the truth (either the understanding of Jesus' coming or that of the original sin), like human laws, we are responsible for it. You can't say, "Oh, I didn't know." When you did.

The unpardonable sin is simply rejecting Jesus Christ as your saviour. God gave us His only Son to save us from eternal death. Those who reject such as sacrifice (the blood of the covenant) will be punished by not having eternal life (being separated from God for ever!). Verse 29 goes on to explain it further:

"How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?"

how much more severely - refers to v28.
trampled the Son of God - rejection of Christ's sacrifice
treated as an unholy thing... - basically spat in God's face!
that sanctified him - him is you and me

The 'cheat' notes in my translation (NIV) refers to it as commiting the sin of apostasy.

This is referring to a deliberate and will full act of committing the same sin repeatedly not because of weakness of character or ignorance but in full knowledge and will full action.

It's the equivalent of acknowledging Christ as god and that he made the sacrifice for our sins but rejecting him anyway.

Knowing the truth and sinning against it.
