Jesus said " 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. 32 For example, whoever speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the holy spirit, it will not be forgiven him, no, not in this system of things nor in that to come. ( Matt 12:31,32)

k. You are wrong, you adding to the scripture, I am qouting direct, you have the one who does not know what his talking about. The point being,if Jesus is God why would the unforgiveable sin only apply to the Holy spirit? Enough said.

"Seeing they are equal" -- where do you see this?
Just because God is God, Human, and Spirit doesn't mean "equality", for Philippians 2:5-7 says "...Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men."
They are equal in ways and unequal in others. Jesus said the Father is greater than I.
Trinity doesn't have to mean "equality".
My question to you: If God is omnipotent and omnipresent, is it possible he made a part of himself into a human and is also an active powerful Spirit? Can he do that? Is he able?
God is still God while he is a human showing others "the way" and baptizes with his Spirit. They are each the same being but unique in their own differences.
To answer your question, when you reject the Holy Spirit, you're rejecting God's Spirit AND Jesus' Helper.
Now that you received my answer, you can run along and play now.

Stop taking Scripture out of context and you'll have your answer.
Jesus (in context) said (to the Pharisees in particular) that to say that Jesus did His miraculous works by the power of Satan (in context, He says "Beelzebub") was a very particular sin called "blasphemy against the Holy Ghost".
Now...Jesus we know from the context of The Holy Scriptures is "the Word Made Flesh (God)"...that He is the Son of the Father, and that He was filled with the Holy Ghost.
Since the particular sin that Jesus pointed out had to do with all Three Persons (Jesus, the Son of the Father, doing miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit) - your premise is faulty.
You get a D-minus. Now...got back and stop taking Scripture out of context.

All three of them in the Holy Trinity are reall killers!!!
They try to control you by fear!
Clever Bible writers... I would say...!!!
God the Father way…
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (NIV) If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard." Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. ALL ISRAEL WILL HEAR OF IT AND BE AFRAID.
God the Son Jesus Christ way…
Revelation 2:23 (NIV) (Jesus says) I WILL STRIKE HER CHILDREN DEAD. Then ALL THE CHURCHES WILL KNOW that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds
Control by fear is deeply rooted in God’s “Plan of Salvation”…
Numbers 31:17-18 (NIV) Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.
In God's economy, only the young virgin girls survive for the pleasure of God’s men. Their wives were used to see new girls in the house every time the husband comes back from fighting any of God’s wars! BTW, don’t forget that as a Christian you need to be faithful in your tithes and offerings or God the Holy Ghost will zap you on the spot and you will be buried without notification to your next of kin… (Acts 5:1-11)
Romans 15:4 (NIV) For WHATSOEVER* (*in context or out of context) THINGS were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Your answer lies with who and when. God's elect ... those delivered up for trial when satan, playing his role as antichrist, is booted from heaven to earth.
As Christ would often say: haven't you read it?
If those delivered up refuse to let the Holy Spirit speak though them, it's unforgivable. Will that happen? I doubt it.

Because.....................it is the holy spirit that convicts you of your sin! If you don't believe Him, then there is no one else. God is not coming here. And when you see Jesus it will be too late. The holy spirit is your only chance. "Believe it or not."

Yes - why not - It is so - God is the Holy Spirit, Christ and the Father. Take your pick they are all the one God.

They aren't "equal" nor portrayed as such. They are all God, however.
