According to Jesus there is an unforgivable sin, but very few agree as to 
what he meant:

    Mat 12:31   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.

    Mat 12:32   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.
