Is there a sin after blasphemy (ascribing of divinity to aught beside Him)?
God does not forgive the sin of considering others equal to Him, but He may choose to forgive other sins. Whoever believes in other gods besides Him has indulged in a great sin. (48)

Jesus mentions a sin that is unforgivable in Matt. 12:31-32 and calls it blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. But what exactly is this unforgivable sin? For that, we need to look at the context.
Matt. 12:22-32 says, "Then there was brought to Him a demon-possessed man who was blind and dumb, and He healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw. 23And all the multitudes were amazed, and began to say, "This man cannot be the Son of David, can he?" 24But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "This man casts out demons only by Beelzebub the ruler of the demons." 25And knowing their thoughts He said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand. 26"And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand? 27"And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Consequently they shall be your judges. 28"But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29"Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30"He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters. 31"Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32"And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come," (All Scripture quotes are from the NASB).

Lighting from the East showed you the correct context as what is the Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit or unpardonable sin. It is plainly attributing the miraculous works of or power of the Holy Spirit to the devil or his demons. Many so-called Christian denominations Blaspheme the Holy Spirit today by "denying" that He (Holy Spirit) works the same today in believers as He did in the first century believers, and they attribute any such works of power (miracles) of the Holy Spirit to the devil or his demons, just like they did back then. These are spoken of in the Holy Scriptures of the Bible as the ones who practice a form of Godliness or religion but deny the power of the Holy Spirit being manifest within the lives of the believers today just as He was in the beginning. The Scripture says from such turn away !
