Some people say they know. But in the end it is God's decision and He has not made a clear cut answer.

God knows and understands our challenges and suffering better than we do. He is a good and gracious God, loving and long suffering. He Who knew no sin, Jesus Christ, bore our sins in His sinless body to pay the price for our sins. He came into the world specifically to do this for us, out of His great love for us. We are covered by His precious, righteous blood. All who accept His sacrifice on their behalf are saved, passing from death to life. There is now only one unforgivable sin, and that is blasphemy.

Hi AC,

Salvation is not dependent on circumstances or feelings and regardless of the situation, one is not damned to hell because of the evil or bad things one hath done. It is certainly Christ did it all. But of course, a true believer in Christ will ultimately follow Christ to grow in Him. The "situation" based question is based on "if" and somehow not a realization of truth found in the scriptures. One think of Judas but then we only have one Judas, is anyone wanted to be like Judas? After all Judas only played his part in the Prophecy and never a true, real believer of Christ to begin with.

So, the question is in this scenario is "does the situation is a real, true believer in Christ? A true, real believer is saved. And if he is saved then he is saved forever. The hype teaching is that because he was saved forever then he is free to do it all including sinning which the Bible is not teaching. This is called antinomianism. Ugly has a good point.

But for the sake of discussion, Heaven or Hell. I go to Heaven.:)

If a person is a born again Christian, gets physically ill and dies.
Do they go to heaven or hell?

If a person is a born again Christian, gets mentally ill and dies..
Do they go to heaven or hell?

Is there are difference? Some would say yes, but I do not think there is.

Depends if they convert in time, just like atheists.
Ian McCormack got saved in his last breath by praying the our Father and asking forgiveness and he forgave those who sinned against him.
I tried it. I thought if I kill myself I go to hell and I can't stand it here anymore either, so what I do is take all those pills, then pray the sinner's prayer so He has to forgive me and let me into heaven, but it will be too late and I will die because I took the pills, like jumping and then say it when you jump.
So I did and mixed it with alcohol. I was under influence of prozac btw, otherwise I wouldn't have done it, but don't think you can use that as an excuse. It's still grave sin. So I took the pills and the alcohol I bought and sat at the waterside, but then I became so sleepy, I thought I can't take the other 2 packs, I have to pray now. I prayed the sinner's prayer. Then God said I had to call for help and could not take the rest or I would be a hypocrit and the prayer meant nothing and I'd not go to heaven. Somehow I had a phone with me which I then almost never had with me, called my ex, didn't take the rest and a guy from church with his kid searched me. Kids thought he was looking for a dog LOL. I had fallen asleep and the ambulance came.
A guy from the office killed himself, an atheist who laughed about me getting married in a church. I had to pray for someone from the office for hours the night before, didn't know who. Next day I heard it. Assumed he didn't make it and blocked him out of my memory. 2 years later I got a dream in which he said he had been saved 2 years ago.

For most believers we are most blessed that we have never seen God and we know who God is. The everlasting living word of God is gospel. Most Christians know that our bodies are sacred temples in all ways that bring glory to God almighty and so we know we should be godly in the ways of our daily life whether believers are able or unable to control how they can live we give unto Jesus our love whether or not we can tell is for God in his infinite love and majesty in the kingdom of Heaven. I know of a believer that has no ability but to suffer and be tormented and say such things that we are compelled to pray and assist this person in every way and my brothers and sisters are not enough of ourselves to see and yet the spirit is there.

The Lord knows our hearts he comforts us and knows us he is Lord I am not enough and my body is broken it will not last and so the struggling that burdens me is not my burden to bear as sins and doubts with addictions and unclean thoughts and all that is filthy is not withstanding and worthless and not everyone has the ability to know and yet do know. We know what we know without knowing. Glory be God.

Suicide does not necessarily mean one ended their life suddenly. There is many temptations that we know are not healthy and choices we make daily can limit the time we have and prevent the good work in all ways such as substance abuse, bad habits, recklessness, grief, diseases, and on and on. The devil knows all the tricks in the book. Let your burdens go all of it the good the bad and the ugly let it go God's love is absolute. The lord keep you brothers and sisters of the flock. God bless you and keep you. He is risen!

Always pray for these people and all people on the edge of eternity. Ian got saved because his mother prayed. I know that my mother prayed for me. She always prays the whole day through.
My granddad was an antitheist. My mother shared the gospel, the night before he died God said: You have the keys. Use them. Bound the powers that blinded him etc. Later I also got a dream about him being saved.
People get saved if we do our job. 1 Timothy. It's not a coincidence that almost whole Wales got saved. That guy prayed 18 hours a day for the lost.
