Well....
Blasphemy applies to anyone who blasphemes.....even a saved person.
I am a Christian. So if I decide one day to say, "I don't believe in creation".....then I am officially blaspheming

Blasphemy is blasphemy... and being saved is not a permanent position, you could be for a while and sin in way that you would get condemned again! Blasphemy as any sin needs forgiveness, contrition, regret and fixing the wrong doing... right action and repent can get you saved with Gods will.

I think we may be talking apples and oranges.
The blasphemy I think you are referring to is not responding to the Holy Spirit's prompting when He offers salvation to you. You don't just "decide" to be a Christian - the Holy Spirit must be present (John 3) - declining that offer indefinitely could result in blasphemy. So, in that way, since I have received Christ (when I was prompted by the Holy Spirit) - I am safe from committing the unpardonable sin. So the answer to your question is yes.
However, the type blasphemy some are responding with is talking about God and His name without any attachment to Him. Like, "Oh, Lord!" when I am exasperated, etc. It is also not showing Him reference, etc. I can and have committed that type of blasphemy in my life. These are just a few examples...............

I assume you are referring to the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, the only unforgiveable sin. This probably refers to rejected the Holy Spirit's promptings towards salvation, the rejection of the offer of salvation through Jesus Christ. If you are truly born again, you have followed the Holy Spirit into belief in the Son of God and cannot commit this blasphemy. However, Christians are capable of other types of blasphemy (taking the Lord's name in vain, for example) as they are still sinners.

No. The Apostle Paul once said in part that we are "....ALL APT to sin....." It means that regardless of how long you've been saved, you can still sin and be subject to blasphemy. Look at Job! He was a man who was very close to God, and though he DIDN'T blaspheme God, at the end of his misery, his own wife came to him with the ultimate cop out by saying, "Why don't you just curse God and die"? She knew he would die and not have anymore worries, but he was more concerned with his SOUL than his flesh when he replied, "Thou speaketh as a foolish woman"! He also said, "Though my skinworms destroy this body, yet IN MY FLESH (Rapture thoughts maybe?) I shall see God." He knew that no matter what he'd go through, he'd be better off living for and praising God in his loss than giving up his soul for a little peace of mind.

don't believe in that "once saved always saved " stuff because the Bible clearly states "faith without works is died" it says "works" which implies a continuing action not once and final mode. so blasphemy can apply to anyone.

Blaspheming the bible hmmm. If you read your Bible you will see that there is only one way to commit this. That is by rejecting the Holy Spirit. That and only that is the worst thing you can do towards God.

No, no, no. The contrary, it means you are now responsible to live in such a way that you are to treat matters of God and heaven with reverence.

Yes, and it means that the desire to blaspheme is not with me.
