the bible says believe in god with all your heart and treat your neighbor as yourself and you will go to heaven. and no sin warrants death but one. and thats blaspheming the holy spirit. therefore i do believe they go to heaven.

I am bipolar.. and struggle w/ this. Most bipolar people do.. I have been told that bipolar people are actually full of demons and such- and people like this are just being sucked in by the "smoking pits." This leaves people like me in worse despair- I think. I don't have the answers-- but thank you for this. I had a friend who was terribly depressed and took her life. She was raised in the Catholic church and not placed in the church cemetery..

@TheTruthseeker707 Do you know why blasphemy is not forgiven? Blasphemy is denying the Christ. If you are indeed a follower and believer in Christ the Savior, it would not be in your nature to blaspheme. Only non-believers will blaspheme, and go to Hell. Cheers

@danielefsot it's obvious you don;t have the answer and that you did not watch the video because had you done so you would have had the same answer as Hank, who uses scriptural doctrine to give a response

[danielefsot]

God does not tempt anyone to sin but freely allows them to sin because of free will.Sin is Sin even though thou shalt not murder could be consider a greater sin than some others.However we don't go to Hell because people consider suicide a greater sin than others.Gods eyes,sin is sin,no matter how miniscule it is.Must be totally pure and Holy to enter God's presence by the washing away of it in Christ Jesus.So to say one is condemned to hell because one committed suicide is a serious assumption

Can a person repent and become born again(saved) a child of God and still get to a point in their life where they actually commit suicide because of the stress they're under?.I know that murder , to kill is not the unpardonable sin because all sin is evil in the eyes of God.Only by blasphemy of the Holy Spirit,rejecting God,not wanting God is the unforgivable sin.One who would rather go to Hell than be in God's presence.It does not specifically say suicide is the unpardonale sin.Leave it at that

@TheTruthseeker707 The only thing I can rationalize, in what little I do know about apologetics is the only true unforgivable sin mentioned in the bible I know of is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Whether that entails suicide ,I just don't know and won't say, or conjure up a humanistic opinion on something so serious.What I do know is once you've repented and r saved! your past,present and future sins r forgiven.Great men wanted God to take their life or wished they were not born under stress.

@devilslayer2011 ... to kill someone including oneself....are we playing with words here, would it have been better if I was more clear and said if anyone kills anyone or oneself without repenting then that one cant go to heaven...especially those who kill themselves because for sure they have no chance to repent.....I'll have to look up word murder in dictionary to see if you are using it right but the thought is that you can not kill yourself and go to heaven.
