In Christianity, the "unforgivable sin" is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which is a deliberate, persistent rejection of God's work and Jesus as the savior, refusing to repent. It's not a single act but a hardened heart that attributes the Holy Spirit's work (like healing and conviction) to Satan, thereby rejecting the only means of salvation. The Bible notes this sin is unforgivable because it closes the door to forgiveness by rejecting the Spirit who leads to repentance, but those genuinely afraid they've committed it likely haven't, as fear of it shows a desire for God's mercy, notes the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada, Biola University, and Wikipedia.
The unpardonable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Blasphemy includes ridicule and attributing the works of the Holy Spirit to the devil.
