I agree the idea they will repent implies impossible but that is not the issue. The issue is whether their blasphemy is against the Holy Spirit or is it some other blasphemy that can be forgiven. Not all blasphemies are unforgivable.
I fear this is what keeps getting overlooked in the discussion.
To me Heb.6:4-6 is a passage that deals with the "to OSAS or not to OSAS question" but has nothing to say about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
When you look at the Matthew passage where Jesus talks about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matt.12:22-32), it is very clear what is happening and the people He is saying are doing it are clearly not saved.
A person who cannot tell right from wrong or good from evil clearly would not come to Christ. Indeed, if you continue on in the Gospel passage, Jesus calls them vipers and says they are evil. Therefore, to even raise the question of whether one can lose their salvation or not, is entirely moot.
Matthew 12:34
Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart.
And just so we are clear, do I think a believer can blaspheme the Lord? Yes, I do. Do I think they can blaspheme the Holy Spirit? No, because such a person would never come to Christ in the first place, they are lovers of evil and see their evil as good.

and so it must be the unrepentable sin of apostasy or else there are two.
