Do many Christians believe anyone can commit a unforgivable sin

I suggest you stay within the context of your Bible. there's truth in context of why the statement was made. No need to go searching for another answer that has already been given in the context.

Everything was quoted from scripture- in context. Gods Truth doesn’t change.

No one who believes in the biblical Jesus being the Son of God and loves Him, can commit that sin.

Those who committed that sin, refused to believe and hated Jesus, so they couldn't be forgiven, just like all unbelievers.

Here is the "line".

John 3:36

I have heard that there is no unforgivable sin,

There is "blasphemy OF" the Holy Spirit

and

There is "blasphemey AGAINST" the Holy Spirit

They are not the same.

Jesus paid for the sin of the world...

So, that covers all the sin of one truly horrible human being.
No worries.

The Cross of Christ is an overpayment.

Here’s the rest….

John 3: 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 Foreveryone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Can anyone? Well Jesus didn't say it to any Christians. He did say “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin”

So "whoever" means anyone. Now if you get scared and wonder you might have done it...you never have. The one that does it does not fear worry doubt they don't care nor do they want to repent.

Not really friend.

Perhaps you misunderstood when I suggested the study on Truth in scripture, it really is a powerful study.

I am on @Maria Billingsley side. If you die without forgiveness in sin and unbelief it is too late to repent. Of course it is unforgivable. Too late, isn’t a real thing till after you die. If you say something about the HS in a fit of anger, you can still repent. Or if you are just flippant you can still repent. That would only be insulting to the HS. If you are blasphemous to Him you can still repent it has to be backed up by dying without repentance. I know what it says. There is a second chance and a third etc. Maybe it’s only for the mentally ill, but then it’s for everybody.

It's all cool, perhaps it was a mutual misunderstanding. The interaction I mentioned with the Pharisees is of scripture as well. The meaning which is mentioned then on, in my opinion.

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable. (Matthew 12:31)

This sin is committed when an unbeliever is dead. The unbeliever has rejected Christ and has run out of time to accept Christ's atonement for his/her sins.

There is Matthew 12:31 and Hebrews 6:1-8
They go together. If you harden your heart to all of the powers of the Spirit, there is no way to repent because the Spirit moves us to repent.

Isn't the unforgivable sin against the Holy Spirit? In other words, if you reject or modify The Divine Will which is being worked by The Holy Spirit, you are in danger of committing the unforgivable sin.

This is accurate

Jesus Himself said in Matthew 12:31, “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.”

It is important to fear God and there is OCD in which whatever is sacred or important is tormentfully brought together with whatever is foul... and it makes one despair. So we need be careful not to think we are condemned.
