According to the Bible the only unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. In our language that would amount to speaking evil against God. Here is what Easton's Bible dictionary has to say about it:

"In the sense of speaking evil of God this word is found in Ps. 74:18; Isa. 52:5;

Rom. 2:24; Rev. 13:1, 6; 16:9, 11, 21. It denotes also any kind of calumny, or

evil-speaking, or abuse (1 Kings 21:10; Acts 13:45; 18:6, etc.). Our Lord was

accused of blasphemy when he claimed to be the Son of God (Matt. 26:65; comp.

Matt. 9:3; Mark 2:7). They who deny his Messiahship blaspheme Jesus (Luke

22:65; John 10:36). Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Matt. 12:31, 32; Mark

3:28, 29; Luke 12:10) is regarded by some as a continued and obstinate

rejection of the gospel, and hence is an unpardonable sin, simply because as

long as a sinner remains in unbelief he voluntarily excludes himself from

pardon. Others regard the expression as designating the sin of attributing to

the power of Satan those miracles which Christ performed, or generally those

works which are the result of the Spirit's agency."

I personally believe that this kind of blasphemy can not - would not - be committed by a believing Christian.

Yes, there is only one un-forgivable sin mentioned.

To cut a long story short it is what Mr Mike just mentioned.

No other interpretation of the unforgivable sin is valid any where near a Bible.

God Bless.

Blasphemy of the holy spirit means that you have seen a miracle of God and yet you still do not believe. This is referring to the miracles Jesus performed such as healing the sick and raising the dead. Those who saw this with their own eyes and refused to believe in it cannot be forgiven. Today, this is no longer possible since Jesus was crucified and we no longer witness these miracles. However, blasphemy of the holy spirit today would mean never believeing Jesus was Christ and he was the savior. This means that if you live as anything other than a Christian and never repent for it in your lifetime, your sins will not be forgiven at the judgement. I heard some people say that blasphemy of the holy spirit means you say evil about God but I don't know anyone alive who has not done this at least once in their lifetime. In a hard time before we accepted God we would blame him. Or it could be as simple as saying curses with God's name in it. The only logical answer to unforgiveable sin is what I have said above. Of course none of us need to worry about this since nothing can take us away from God once we are in his hands.
