Can you explain the phrase blasphemy against the spirit is not forgiven?

When one has prayed ernestly to know that Jesus is the Christ, and in doing so has received a personal visitaion from the Spirit through a burning senstation throughout their body. Or when a still small voice says in your head that what you have enquired about is true. Then you have been blessed with an undeniable testimony that Jesus is the Christ. To blaspheme against the existence of the Holy Ghost after having received such a testimony then by saying that He does not exist nor ever has done, there is no forgivenes for you in this world or the world to come. A murderer will be forgiven of his crime after true repentance. To denigh the existence of the Holy Spirit with no intention of repenting, then Satan will have you in his kingdom.
