I totally disagree with the notion that the only unpardonable sin is dying lost... I think that's a moot point because after death, there is no possibility of pardon... Hence, it's unpardonable, but yet it doesn't speak to the point of there being an unpardonable sin that people can COMMIT while still alive... and yes, there is an unpardonable sin that people can COMMIT while still alive. That is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. I think that many people are taking the blasphemy thing too loosely in interpretation. Looking at the context and at the literal meaning of the Word, it clearly means speaking out against the working of the Holy Spirit.
Remember that in the story line of Matt. 12:22-32, Jesus specifically made a distinction between blaspheming against Himself and blaspheming against the Holy Spirit (v. 32). Therefore, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not simply speaking against the Holy Spirit's work in salvation and therefore denying the sacrifice of Christ. Many people have denied the sacrifice of Christ for years before truly becoming a believer. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit speaks of denying any working of the Holy Spirit, hence you are taking the glory away from Him and elevating your own "ideas" or "theories" above the power of God.
I love you and God bless.
