Explain in your own words what that means.
All other sin is forgivable... murder, sexual immorality, lying, stealing, all other sin. Correct????

Jesus stated "Truly I say to you that all things will be forgiven the sons of men, no matter what sins and blasphemies they blasphemously commit. However, whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit has NO forgiveness FOREVER, but is guilty of everlasting sin". Mark 3: 28, 29.
This Holy Spirit is God's active Working Force, the power whereby He creates and causes and Forgives those who sin against Him.
When the forgiven one then turns around and sins again and again, yet knows in their heart what they are doing, this is an abomination and is against God's Holy Spirit and His Holy purposes.
It is a fearful thing to fall out of favor with God.

Breaking any of the 10 Commandments is a sin. If we pray for forgiveness, and never repeat the sin, we should be forgiven.
NO, we don't know that murder, sexual immorality, lying, stealing, and all other sin are forgivable. That is up to God.
I know that one must "believe and be baptized to be saved"--but I do not think that one must be baptized in all cases. Some people in the world do not even know of Jesus, or of baptism. I don't believe that God would not forgive the ignorant.

Sin against the Holy Spirit. Hard to explain. It could be blasphemy or repeat the same sin over and over again. But also, Matthew 12:31-32 says, "Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
The backdrop to this passage is that the Jewish leaders who had just witnessed a mighty miracle of Christ should have recognized that Jesus performed this miracle in the power of the Holy Spirit. After all, the Hebrew Scriptures, of which the Jewish leaders were well familiar, prophesied that when the Messiah came He would perform many mighty miracles in the power of the Spirit (see Isaiah 35:5-6). Instead, these Jewish leaders claimed that Christ did this and other miracles in the power of the Devil, the unholy spirit. This was a sin against the Holy Spirit. This shows that these Jewish leaders had hardened themselves against the things of God. But in this case, Jesus would have to be on earth.

Blaspheming the Holy Spirit.

The biggest unforgivable sin is worshipping other people or partners other than ALLAH in worship.
ALLAH says in the Qur'an:
"If anyone desires a religion other than Islam submission to God(ALLAH) never will be accepted of Him". (Soorah Aal' imraan 3:85)
"That which you worship besides Him are only names you and your forefathers have invented for which ALLAH has sent down no authority:The command belongs only to ALLAH; that is the right relgion(Islam) but most men do not understand". (Soorah Yoosuf 12:40)
"Verily ALLAH will not forgive the joining of partners with Him but He may forgive (sins) less than that for whomsoever He wishes". (Soorah An-Nissa 4:48 and 116)

Rejecting God and rejecting Jesus are the only unforgivable sins.
.
If you read the history of King David's life, you will see all of those sins. Yet David was loved by God.

The unforgivable sin or blaspheme against the Holy Spirit can only be done by God’s elect when they are delivered up for a testimony.
Matt.12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Luke 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Luke 12:11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Luke 12:12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Mark 13:11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Luke 21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Luke 21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
The unforgivable sin will not happen because that God’s elect cannot wait for the opportunity, adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Matthew 12:31-32 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemyshall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven in this age or in the age to come."
Whoever rejects the prompting of the Holy Spirit removes himself or herself from the only force that can lead him or her to repentance and restoration to God.
The unpardonable sin is the deliberate refusal to acknowledge God's power in Christ.

Rejecting the Holy Spirit. aka.... not accepting Christ. Accepting Christ is the only thing that will get you into heaven and rejecting Christ is the only thing that will keep you out of heaven. The only way to the Father is through the Son.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit - in other words, not accepting Jesus' free gift of salvation.
