Jesus said there was only one unforgivable sin 
Matthew 12:31. Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be
forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.

If you finish reading the rest of the chapter, you will see that verse 26 refers to the people in verse 29 "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden underfoot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?"
Then, the last two verses"Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."
Verse 26 refers to the unsaved, not the saved. Hebrews is written to the Jewish diaspora. Verses 10-39 are a warning to the wavering Jews that the sacrifices have lost their efficacy and now it is Christ or judgment.

Some times well intentioned people take Hebrews 10:26-29 out of context with the book of Hebrews.
There is a vast difference between "receiving the knowledge of the truth" ( which is hearing about Christ's sacrifice for your sins ) and "receiving the Truth Himself - which is Christ."
Anyone can take an isolated scripture out of it's context and say anything they want. Here is an example.
"Anyone who has ever sinned is blotted out of the book."
Exodus 32:33 (NASB)
[SUP]33 [/SUP] The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
We know however that Christ died for us and thus this scripture "would not apply" to us that believe in Christ's work on the cross.
Hebrews 10 is talking about Jewish people after hearing about Christ for the only sacrifice for sins and rejecting it to go back to the temple sacrifices for their sins. This is rejecting Christ's work on the cross for the cleansing of sins.
Hebrews was written a few years before the temple system came crashing down in 70AD when it was trampled by the Roman army.
Here is a short video which will illuminate this clearly.

This book can be difficult sometimes, because we forget that it is addressed to Jews who are deciding between Christ and Judaism. And therefore we can be frightened thinking it is about us.
Paul or somebody else is trying to persuade Jews who are Christians, have the knowledge, but start to doubt whether Jesus is really the promised Christ.
So, I think that in context it means that if somebody knows about Christ, but ignores this knowledge and is continuing in judaism or returning to judaism, he will be punished and no sacrifice is there for such a Jew.
"Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?"
Heb 10:28

People think disobedience has a sacrifice to cover it. It doesn't! If you're in opposition to God, you're proud and He resistant of those... claiming Him Lord means just that.. if someone thinks taking their life back in their own hands has no effect on salvation they are mistaken!!! Faith without works is dead..

Do you really think this can be about Christians? No.
