God doesn't give us a black and white answer here. To make a claim one way or another would only be an opinion of man and not God! God probably did not address it in black in white for a good reason. If we knew that we would still go to Heaven if we killed ourselves, there would probably be a lot more suicides taking place than there already are. However, if we knew that all who killed themselves were automatically banished to Hell, no matter what their situation, it may be too much for the grief-stricken family and friends to bear. Murder and suicide are not unpardonable sins.
The issue is this, (if this is personal to you I apologize but I want to answer you with truth from the Bible) for someone to take their own life would indicate a seperation from God. This does not mean they have denied God or the Holy Spirit. That is the only sin unforgivable! All other sin is forgiveable and we are all sinners
(Mark 3:28-29 KJV) Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
God will judge individually based on what we have done and what our intentions were. God and only God can judge. We can make the mistake of saying one way or another, what we can do is help those who feel hopeless with God helping us!
IF THE QUESTION IS FOR YOURSELF PLEASE EMAIL ME. YOU ARE VALUED AND HELP IS AVAILABLE.
Take care and God bless!

Be careful when making claims like that. Murder is murder whether it's commited against someone else or against yourself! Still not unforgivable either way!

No i don't think they will, if they commit suicide than they are a born-again christian in name only. If you follow the path of Jesus you will understand that suicide is one of the worst things a person can do. People that commit suicide are not of the Lord's sheep. God bless.

If they are born again by the Spirit of God and we have seen that in their life there would be no reason to believe they did not go to heaven.

As far as Islam is Concerned any human being who takes his/her own life by committing suicide will dwell in the fires of HELL.

Suicide is never considered a sin in the Bible. So the issue is moot.

No as suicide is a mortal sin so all souls are punished

Yes. Christianity is grace through faith, and not works. You can do anything so long as you accept Jesus Christ as your Lourde and Savior.

No, because there is no such place as heaven. When you are dead, you are dead.
