The only sin the Holy Spirit will convict of is that unforgiveable sin of unbelief.
John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
When read in context, one can discern what it is that is the sin against the Holy Ghost and that is scattering people from believing in Him; thus they themselves do not believe in Jesus Christ.
Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Who the Holy Spirit bears witness of and those who reject that Witness are sinning against the Holy Ghost for why those who never believed in Him are cast into hell and the lake of fire.
It should be know that sinners in this life, while they are still living, can believe in Him later on in life & be saved, but now is the time for salvation as death or the rapture can come at any moment.
2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
A young woman, a believer in Jesus Christ, testified that before she was saved, she had sinned against the Holy Ghost. She was worried about it.
I'd say that since she is a believer, she is saved; and testified that it is the sin of unbelief that is the sin against the holy Ghost. Otherwise, why would the Father bother to lead her to the Son to believe in Him if He is not to save her?
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
So look at the offense in verse 30 for how Jesus said "Wherefore.." in verse 31 for what that sin against the Holy Ghost was.
Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. 31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Unless you believe you feel free to tell any saved believer that had sinned in such a manner of speaking against the Holy Ghost in that form of blasphemy that you are insinuating between the lines before they were saved, that they are not saved, or any sinner having sinned in that manner and yet inquire if they can still be saved by coming to Jesus Christ, are you going to say no?
Pray about it. As it is, I do not see why the Father bothers to draw them unto the Son to want to be saved by Him if that was the actual unforgiveable sin that you are thinking that it is.
Mark 3:28–30: "Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sinA young woman, a believer in Jesus Christ, testified that before she was saved, she had sinned against the Holy Ghost.
