What does it mean to "speak against the Holy Spirit?" We know the only way to heaven is by faith in Jesus. Over and over again in scripture this fact is confirmed. Jesus is God and His life, death and resurrection make it possible for us to be saved. Yet, Jesus says that speaking against Him is forgivable, but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is not!
During this time Jesus had many "disciples". At His crucifixion they all deserted Him! (Peter even denied him vigorously to others!) Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit. He is the 3rd person of the trinity. He is God in us. He is the One who convicts us of sin and calls us to put our faith in Jesus. To reject His work is to reject Jesus!
In a nut shell, "blasphemy of the Spirit" is rejecting Christ.
