Theoretically, but some people have been or are so much under the power of sin that they will never be saved and never forgiven. Hitler, Stalin, and Putin are three examples.
You're playing God now?
There's only one unforgivable sin.

The offenses some here levy against the Gospel is shocking.

Satan has lied unto mankind from the beginning .
And has preached unto mankind a love that will reconcile all to be as one , RIGHT UNDER HIM .
HE has convinced the world and many churches that HE IS LOVE .
And how do i knows it him . CAUSE LOOK REAL CLOSELY at and examine this love getting sold to all .
IT HONORS SINS . IT says YE are fine and GOD is LOVE , JUST BE YOU . It says raise those rainbow flags for i am love .
IT says HONOR all religons as valid ways to GOD . IT SURE Seems to have a huge problem
with SAYING YE MUST BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST TOO . THIS LOVE AINT COMING FROM GOD FOLKS
THIS SOCIAL GOSPEL WE ARE ONE LOVE N UNITY , IT AINT COMING FROM GOD .
LOOK at what it accepts . And look at what it calls hate and rejects . Examine the thing . LET US LEARN our bibles
LEARN THAT GOD , LEARN HIS LOVE . AND SEE that HIS LOVE CORRECTS sins and errors , IT DONT ACCEPT SINS AND ERRORS .
GO to the HOLY BOOK and learn OF HIM . Get in those bibles . Men are decieving the heck out of folks .
But that is how the dragon has always worked . TWISTING the WORDS of GOD
and saying HAS GOD REALLY SAID ....................
The fake Jesus, He Gets Us Campaign.

you're saying that someone of another religion can never become a Christian, because they've already blasphemed the Holy Spirit. That is not true.

I'm not. I was an unbeliever and was constantly blaspheming the Holy Spirit because, I assume, the Holy Spirit was drawing me but I would not believe. Of course, I did believe eventually through nothing less than a supernatural experience.
I guess the point is that you can stop blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
Every believer goes from darkness to light because all fall short.

It's not theoretical at all, it's truth.
I am a huge fan of testimonies and many many people that were deeply entrenched in sin murderers, witches/satan worshippers are now His sheep.
There is no one so far gone that the Lord, who can do anything, cannot reach them.

But not everyone will be saved. How do you account for that?

Jesus wasn't addressing believers, but Jews under the old covenant. They were in danger of committing the unforgivable sin, presumably for attributing the miracles Jesus was doing through the power of the Holy Spirit to beelzebub. He did not say they had blasphemed the Holy Spirit, but that they were in danger of doing so.

So perhaps there was a distinction between them accusing Jesus of using the power of the devil, and accusing the miracles themselves.

Also I do not read this as Jesus simply warning about rejecting him and the Truth. But something more specific to the context of what they were accusing.

And those men were under the old covenant when they were warned. So, it must be possible for anyone to blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

I find it unusual that an unbeliever would even recognize the work of the Holy Spirit. But God in general is blasphemed all the time, and that is nothing unusual.

What was written, "The name of God is blasphemed among the gentiles because of you."

Then, what about?:

Mat_12:32 "And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven​
him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him,​
neither in this world, neither in the world to come."?
Please advise the meaning of this.
I can only give opinion here. but those who knew Jesus was the Messiah (the pharisees) probably had sealed their fate earlier, for they had fully rejected Jesus as Messiah.

In order to speak ill of the Spirit you would have to know that one is filled with the Spirit. People ignorant or taught badly can be forgiven if they accuse someone of doing things under the spirit to a demon. that is ignorant.

the Pharisees knew full well jesus was Messiah! He had accomplished the three miracles the Pharisees taught only Messiah could do. that is why the crowd turned to the Pharisees after Jesus cast out the demon from the deaf and dumb man. And in the Greek it was more of a rhetorical question where they were expecting a positive answer.

Can someone explain why this sin is unforgivable unlike genocide, rape, and incest? Why is this sin unforgivable compared to what Hitler, Stalin and Muhammad the Islamic prophet did?
Where is it said that attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan is unforgivable?

Read Mark 3:23-30, it explains what the unforgivable sin is clearly.
You seem to be equating "attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan" to "whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit."

[23] And he called them to him, and said to them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?
[24] If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
[25] And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
[26] And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but is coming to an end.
[27] But no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.
[28] "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;
[29] but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin" --
[30] for they had said, "He has an unclean spirit." Mark 3:23-30 RSV

Calling the works of the Holy Spirit of Satan is quite dangerously eternal spiritual suicide. Which reminds me of a JW who called our Christian Bible Satanic. Some can't repent.

Who says that Putin is on par with Hitler or Stalin must be delusional and under deceptions in fact.

Putin has turned Russia around out of Communism in fact, but it's a hard Task that Putin took on, i do not look to regards of perfection as in the eyes of fools in the West may demand ? But the West is going down hill and is way out of control like a brat, because our Governments are as corrupt as Hell !
It's a very creepy time the West has been peddling now for how many years and it does not represent our past, but a Satanic evil that works to undermine everyone in every way in fact !

Putin said no to child exploitation sexual depravity grooming and all the West Governments all hated Putin for taking that stance and spun outright lies regarding all this back to the West, who's Governments are in fact of reprobate mind.

The West is Hell bound to become a Socialist Communist dictatorship and Putin pointed this out years ago, saying he knows what Communism is and the West fired back that he would not know what Communism is ? how outright rude can one get ! A bunch of Governments in the West are morons hell bent on creating a Communist world in fact and Putin who is a master on the subject pointed out that the West is set to make all the mistakes that Russia made, not to mention the reason why such failed in fact. But we in the West are not allowed to read what Putin said years ago about such issues, the West Governments do not want you educated on Communistic or Nazi foundations they were created on or an open book !

I am sick of all the shallow short sighted dupes who look up to Socialist Communist brainwashing, they believe it will work ? The only thing that they are good at is killing people, for they are masters of that ! and stand over tactics and we now have lost that freedom in fact !

Putin talks about Christianity, something no other Government Leadership in the West would openly claim.

The West needs Putin's help, so as to truly understand the issues of the past why they did not bear good fruit, for socialism is a cancer !

Jesus said that some people will not believe in a Man ! now he was understanding of such, but one can not attack the Holy Spirit for it's pure ! not to mention Christ Jesus is also the Holy Spirit ? But he that works to undermine the Holy Spirit is condemned !

The reason why Jesus give leeway on himself regarding carnal man is why, for such do not know or understand because they are of this world, that is as Jesus said Full of Deceptions and Delusions in fact !

If one has an issue of relating to Repenting of your Sins, clearly such a one is serving Satan.
If one truly repents of ones Sins then that empowers you, such gives you strength. If one does not repent that will only weaken one.

Sadly even many church leaders do the same and yet their doctrine and their walk proves otherwise .
Many can and do lip the name of Christ Jesus , only to find out the jesus they follow and love
contradicts the biblical version of JESUS CHRIST .
Deadly times indeed , much deception and decievers do abound in the world .
