What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and how does it connect to salvation?
The "blasphemy of the Holy Spirit" is when someone doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. At the point the person dies, there is no more forgiveness left... and that person will not make it to heaven.
By the words of the Pharisees, Jesus knew that IN THEIR HEARTS, they would never believe in Him.
Verse 28 states, "ALL SINS will be forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies they may UTTER." Thus, even if a person curses God, it has already been forgiven. The only thing that matters is accepting that forgiveness by placing faith in Jesus Christ.
