Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, the unforgivable sin:

Matt 12:22-32 The unforgivable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, is simply "Rejecting Christ". Some people there were saying that Beelzebub, not God, was performing all these miracles through Jesus.

The name Beelzebub gets its name from Baal.

In the Old Testament when Moses was getting the ten commandments a golden calf was formed, which was made in the image of Baal (Baal means Bull). (Exodus 32)

Gold means "Divinity". So they were saying the Baal is their god.

They were saying that Baal (Beelzebub) got them, the Hebrews/Israelities, out of Egypt by performing all these miracles, such as killing Egyptian first born sons, turning water into blood, splitting open the Red Sea and closing it to kill the Eqyptian army.

The people that were worshipping the golden calf were given an option to repent. About 3000 did not repent, so they were killed (Ex.32:28). Aaron, Moses' brother who arranged the golden calf to be formed, repented who is now in heaven.

In the New Testament, at Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit came, about 3000 people were saved that day. (Acts 2:41-42)

The unforgivable sin is simply being in the state of rejecting Christ. If you’re rejecting Christ, He will forgive you if you turn to Him before you die.
