No, Jason, not a type of sin that is forgiven and one type of sin that is not forgiven. No place in that passage can one reach that conclusion, and that interpretation completely contradicts Romans 6:23 -
This passage has nothing to do with forgiveness, but about EARTHLY CONSEQUENCES. Some sins lead to death - physical death on this Earth, like driving drunk, some sins don't, like cheating on your taxes.
The wages of all sin is death for the UNBELIEVER, but for the BELIEVER (to whom this passage is written), there are sins which lead to physical death on this Earth and some that don't.
No it's not. There is not ONE WORD about this passage being about folks who are struggling with a particular sin they are confessing:
You are COMPLETELY misreading this passage, Jason.
You simply made all of that up.
That passage indicates NONE of that.
And refusing to confess and forsake sin is not what leads to spiritual death; UNBELIEF in Christ is what leads to spiritual death.
Believe in Christ and receive the FREE gifts of forgiveness, righteousness, and New Life in Him. Become a New Creation and experience the new desires that God works into the believer.
Jason - challenge for you: Go through the NT and see how many of the people that Jesus forgave in His ministry confessed and repented beforehand.
Let us know what you find .
Those versions do not remotely support your interpretation, either.

16 If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. 17 All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death. (from 1 Jn. 5)

" We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not."
Also, if you were to look at every time the words "life" and "death" appear in John's epistle, you would see that they are contrast to one another. They are contrast in talking about that which is spiritual. Don't believe me? Just read it for yourself and you will see.
In addition, the Bible is intergrated message system. It speaks sometimes using the whole counsel of God's Word in many parts of Scripture. For various different truths are wide spride in the Holy Scriptures. Also, Paul was indeed talking about "spiritual death" in relation to the sins he mentioned. For he also says that they which do things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God; And in Romans 1:32, he says that they are worthy of "death." John clarifies what this "death" is. John essentially says that those who do these types of sins will face the "Second Death" (Which is the Lake of FIre) (Revelation 21:8).
