If so, where does the Bible state this to be so?
No.
Biblically there is only ONE unforgivable sin and that is to blasphemy the Holy Spirit.

Sure, and denying God when you know He exists, and denying the truth when you know what it is and so forth BUT it is a CONSCIOUS denial, a purposeful denial.
