Jesus Accused of Blasphemy
Believers and unbelievers alike can sin against the Holy Spirit (Ghost). Sinning against the Holy Spirit (Ghost) is considered as an unpardonable sin for which there is no forgiveness. Jesus was accused of this blasphemy by His enemies (the Pharisees) when he cast devils out of a man possessed with a blind and dumb devil using the Spirit of God.The man was then able to see and speak. The Pharisee's accused Him of casting out devils by the power of Satan.
"And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and shall not stand: Matt. 12:25
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? Matt. 12;26
And if I by Be-el'-ze-bub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. Matt. 12:27
But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Matt. 12:28
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Matt. 12:29
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Matt. 12:29
Jesus repeated two times the punishment for blasphemy of the Holy Ghost

Jesus defined the punishment and the meaning of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit (Ghost) as speaking against the Holy Ghost when He said, "And whosever 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." Matt. 12:32
SIn of Resisting the Holy Ghost
In Acts we find that Stephen during a dispute with members of the synagogue addressed them as people who resist the Holy Ghost just as their fathers did indicating the history of resistance of the Holy Ghost but emphasized that they were resistant because they were unbelievers who did not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God and that He died for our sins and rose again in three days. Stephen says, "Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye." Acts 7:51
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murders: Acts 7:52

Jesus Sent Demons into Pigs
"When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 'What do you want with us, Son of God?' they shouted. 'Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?' Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. The demons begged Jesus, 'If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.' He said to them, 'Go!' So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region." Matthew 8:28:34
