Now, we are talking about the unforgivable sin, aren't we? If so then the above is the way I've always seen it. Christ performs a miracle in the view of others. Yet rather than giving God the glory, the witnesses claim that this is actually the work of Beelzebub. Hence the unforgivable sin is seeing and knowing God is at work, yet deliberately attributing that work to Satan.

OTOH blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is forgivable. Didn't Paul say he, and others in the congregations, were once blasphemers?
