When the religious leaders of Israel said that Christ's miracles were due to the evil one instead of the Holy Spirit, that is blasphemy against the Spirit. IMO
attributing what Christ did to satan, which is what the pharisees did, ( it is by beelzebul , the prince of demons, that He drives them out) is the ultimate blasphemy.

Jesus made it clear in the Parable of the Sower that the devil does take the word from them so they don't believe. Yet the word Finds the good ground. Matthew 13:3-9, Mark 4:2-9, and Luke 8:4-8,
A friend (in real life) recently quipped in answered to a dig directed at him saying, "I'm just going to behave nonchalant," which perfectly illustrated his reception of the slight to his person (although it was funny because it also happened to illustrate a characteristic of the actual dig). And another friend (in unreal life, that is, here) expressed what seemed to be a novel idea to me, I've never heard it even suggested before anyway, that each heart can have characteristic of each of these soils at one time or another. But, even though I was inclined to run with this idea, I just proceeded on the side of caution and looked to either prove or disprove this possibility, and your links provided me the perfect and most convenient opportunity. In Jesus' explanation of the good soil, He mentions a "good" heart. One might even say a twice good heart considering two different words, kale and (kai; And, even, also, namely) agathe, are both used, and both, essentially, mean "good." Interestingly, of the first, "kalos," The Strong's Lexicon's Corresponding Greek/Hebrew Entries has "The Hebrew equivalent often associated with "kalos" is "tov...This word is used to describe God's creation,..." and Usage: submits, "In the New Testament, "kalos" is frequently used to describe...and the inherent goodness of God's creation..." And of the second word, agathos' Meaning: "intrinsically good, good in nature, good whether it is seen to be so or not, the widest and most colorless of all words with this meaning."

So, the first chance I get, the next time I happen to see my real life friend showing any sign of concern, I intend to make sure I don't miss the opportunity to tell him that, "I've noticed you seem a bit chalant today."

Yes, and apostasy is not respectful either.

31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
(Matthew 12:31-32)
These verses say emphatically that blashemy against the Holy against the Holy Spirit is NOT FORGIVEABLE either in this AGE or the world to come. Rather than trying to understand what Jesus was talking about you dismiss Jesus warning altogether saying "Fortunately for us all, the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is forgivable. but that it cant be while "we are knowingly persist in doing it." This is not what the verse says. Jesus said this sin will will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. Until you take Jesus at His word you will not understand this verse
