That is because the HOLY SPIRIT is trying to everyone to Believe in Christ the Creator.
That is why Blaspheming the Holy Spirit is rejecting the Work of the Holy Spirit to get you to BELIEVE.
That is the ONE and ONLY unforgivable sin.
What about people who have NEVER heard about CHRIST? They are Still without Excuse.
Romans 1:18-22 (HCSB)
18 For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth,
19 since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them.
20 For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.
21 For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools
Luke 12:10 (NKJV)
10 And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." If you die without Christ, you pass into the second death at the end of this age, because your sins are not covered by the shed righteous blood of Christ. That is blasphemy, denying the work of God, Who sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. It is the crux of the gospel message. I am surprised you do not understand this.

Well..with this standard..ALL unsaved are unknowingly blasheming the HS n sinning (even though unaware) and committing the unfirgivable sin..so if theyre already in a state of unforgiveness WHATS the purpose of Jesus death? The unsaved HAVE to be able to be forgiven to enter into salvation etc How can you be geld accountable for something youre unaware of?

The law is written on our hearts, given to bring awareness of our sinful state before a holy and righteous God. The Law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith, for without faith, it is impossible to please God. Paul called himself a blasphemer, but he did not die in that state. On the one hand you want to say there is no reason for pastors and teachers etc because we have the Holy Spirit to convict us of sin, while now you are at least backhandedly acknowledging that we need teachers to inform us. You are on a slippery slope.
