I was wondering what the general Christian thought is on the Holy Spirit. I was taught that it is, esentially, our conscience. That little voice that tells us that what we're doing is wrong, and that it is with us from the moment we're born. Or maybe it provides our conscience. Is this about right? Oh, and this is its main function as a member of the godhead.
I was less clear on the unpardonable sin. To my understanding it is committed when someone denies their conscience, denies the Holy Spirit, over and over for so long, that eventually it stops trying. Are there any alternate views on this?

The unpardonable sin is to speak the truth: If Jesus performed any miracles at all, they were the works of Satan, not of G-D. The spirit that empowed Jesus was not Divine, it was of the Adversary, the Challenger, the Liar. In every way, Jesus and this spirit were fraudulent, Deceivers both.

You got it on the the holy spirit. It is also called the light of christ and is basically your conscience but it is also a lot more. The holy ghost is the third member of the godhead which is the messenger and also the sanctifier among others. since we all have varying degrees of the light of christ within us this is what is used to comunicate with us among other things. You have lesser or more of the light of christ by how close you are and far away you are from christ.
Now the unpadonable sin. It is the sin against the holy ghost. in which you deny the holy ghost and crusify again unto you the lord Jesus Christ. There are varying interpretations on this but the best one I know of is that when you have progressed far enough to having your trial of faith, after or before is uncertain, You will witness christ being crusified. then you become a witness and a disciple of christ (this points to this happening before the trial of your faith) Now if you were to turn away from what you saw and deny it (this is what satan will want you to do) then that is the unpardonable sin. You only get the one shot. Most people wont have to worry about commiting the unpardonable sin. I can elaborate more if you like on any point in here.

the unpardonable sin is Blasphmy against the Holy Spirit.
"Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men." - Matt 12:31
People Blasphmey against God or Jesus, which means speaking evil against . But in regards to the Holy Spirit one must confess that the works(miracles, signs and wonders, healings, etc...) of the Holy Spirit are works of satan, which is the unpardonable sin. When you profess it to be evil works. Not denying if there is a God, or whether or not Jesus exsisted or not. Doesn't qualify, b/c there are many people who were athiest that now have a relationship with God and that loves God more than I.
Also,
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
Heb 6:4-6

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is when you are delivered up to the anti christ in the last days and you DENY the Holy Spirit to speak through you. The Word of God says to take no thought on what to say, it will be given to you in that hour. See Matthew 17: 10 through 20
I have no idea what the others are talking about. People who quote the Word of God could at least read it first and see what it says, and get it right. Do not believe me, read it for yourself, I have given you the Chapter and verses. I am only trying to open eyes, and it is a dangerous thing to teach something that is NOT in the Word of God, and man using his own thoughts, when we all know that man is NOT smarter then God. There is too much Spiritual ignorance and Blindness in the world today. Too many Chiefs and no Indians.

merely wondering once that Jesus were given His powers from devil isn't the unpardonable sin. Denying that Jesus is God and refusing to stick with Him is The unpardonable sin. Now worshiping mary is The unpardonable sin.

The Holy Spirit is not part of our conscience. It is a part of the Trinity - God the Father and Jesus the Son. It is only received after we accept Jesus as Saviour. It is an empowering Spirit to do the work of the Kingdom.
The unpardonable sin is refusing to acknowledge and accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour. If someone dies in this situation, they are doomed to Hell as their names are not written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Once they die, the Spirit no longer tries to convert.

Standard (protestant/Catholic) interpretation would not see Holy Spirit as "conscience", because a conscience is possessed independently by each individual, while the Holy Spirit is a singular entity not possessed by anyone (as you state, a member of the godhead). Now, the Holy Spirit is often considered to be the part of God to which one can most easily confer--it is the part of God which was directly provided to each of us to guide us. So rather than call it your conscience, think of it as the wise guide whom your conscience talks to for advice.
Unpardonable sin doesn't make any sense to me--all things are forgiven by the Lord. But that may just be a specific doctrine of a specific demonination of which I am unaware.

God the Father's Love is so perfect that it is another Being, Christ the Son of God. The love they have for one another is so perfect that it manifests as another being, God the Holy Spirit.
Any sin for which you refuse to repent and ask forgiveness is by that very act made unpardonable. You can't get what you don't ask for, after all.

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Against such things there is no law. The Holy Spirit is Gods way of dwelling inside of us and bringing out the goodness, which is all Him. Nothing in us is good, we can only have goodness through Him.

It is blasphemy against the spirit....God's holy spirit....such as the religious leaders who turned Jesus over to be executed...Matthew 12:31 and 32. those who knowingly blasphemed God's spirit thus manifested would be "guilty of everlasting sin" with no forgiveness possible,...which means they "knew" it was God's Spirit.....but it is different when you sin when you are "ignorant"....
