Hey Great Question. Yes it's Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and if i'm correct, off the top of my head i would say it's having a spirit of unforgiveness. For Jesus says that if you do not forgive others, God will not forgive you. I could be wrong, but i think hat the other one

God will only extend forgiveness to us to the extent that we forgive others...Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
But blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the ONLY unpardonable sin.

I believe blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgiveness. You cannot truly embrace Jesus and follow Him if you are walking in unforgiveness towards others and it is the Holy Spirit that gives us the power and ability to forgive others.
When we refuse to forgive others then we retain or hold on to that sin oursleves and cannot receive forgiveness for it. When we blaspheme the Holy Spirit , we are rejecting the very heart of God , which is His forgiveness- refusing to forgive ourselves and refusing to forgive each other when Jesus forgave so much more than we could ever be offended by.

Blaspheming God, whether it is the Father, Word/Son or the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said that God forgives blasphemy of the Son of man (Jesus Humanity at the time). But now Jesus Humanity is raised up to the right hand of God and in His humanity also, is exalted to Yahweh. Yeshuah Messiah is Yahweh. So, blaspeming Jesus won't be forgiven either.
But, then, when you realize how stupid you were, you can humbly repent for not believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, the Atonement & Resurrection and receive forgiveness.
There is never forgiveness when one is blaspheming God. But a person can come to a place of repentance, when they realize the conscequences of doing so. There are immediate conscequences.
Also, if you do not forgive others, God won't forgive you. He will turn you over to tormentors. So? Jesus forgave me my sins & cast them into the sea of forgetfulness, so, I will walk in forgiveness toward others. Being in unforgiveness will lead to an early death, but if born of God, person will see heavens gates.

Actually there is none other. The scripture refers to it as THE unforgivable sin. Not AN unforgivable sin.
Matthew 12:31 -“On this account I say to YOU, EVERY sort of sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the spirit will not be forgiven.
To Hogie: With respect, the logic that leads you to believe that Jesus committed suicide because he knew in advance he would die for our sins is incredibly flawed. By your logic, every fireman that runs into a burning building and dies saving someone else is committing suicide. By your logic every soldier that throws himself on a mine/bomb to save his fellow soldiers is committing suicide. If you go in for an operation to donate a part of your body for someone you love and die, would you say you were committing suicide? Consider Jesus' words @ John 15:13 ... : “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul in behalf of his friends.” (Joh 15:13)

Rejecting Jesus Christ is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit- the only unforgiveable sin.
That means that without His forgiveness, all of your sins will not be pardoned-- but if you had believed, ALL of your sins would of been pardoned. So the only sin that is not forgiveable is rejecting the salvation of Jesus Christ.

Someone said suicide.
If so, then Jesus Christ committed the unpardonable sin, for his actions were suicide. He knew they were going to kill him, and he allowed them to do so without attempting to prevent it.
Regarding the convoluted question posed, the unpardonable sin is in relation to having the Holy Spirit, and rejecting the Holy Spirit, turning away from God under those conditions. Such a person will not turn back to God, and without turning to God, there is no forgiveness.
Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Not asking God for forgiveness.
