Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost 

These two lines are key to understanding this matter:

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.  1 Timothy 6:1

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.  Psalms 138:2

Those that blasphemed the name of God were stoned to death.  How much more so the reproof for those that blaspheme his word which he magnified above all his name!

Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is not against a person; it is a sin against the doctrine of God; the power of God which is his word.  Consider these lines in Mark:

And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.  Mark 3:22

Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:  Mark 3:28

Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.  Mark 3:30

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.  John 6:63
