If a Christian commits suicide, is he still forgiven?

Matt Slick of www.carm.org examines a very difficult subject.

So, because I don't believe in a magical fairy in the sky, I'm going to go to have an eternity of torture? Is it physical, mental or some other type of torture? And honestly heaven doesn't sound that fun either. Part of the fun of living is knowing your mortal. Have fun sitting on a cloud for an eternity.

@MrTriflinNiggaz well the comment section is for well...comments. i.e. opinions and I felt like expressing my point of view so no, you're a fucking moron

[MrTriflinNiggaz]

@Demonsword92 so why would you waste your time commenting on a religious video? So um, you're pretty stupid.

@DiscosMobileKent in response to your comment in this video saved by faith alone !

What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead James 2:14-26 faith without works is dead !

last point: do we only do good to christians...of course not!

but as it says in the bible, "especially to the household of faith". You see, it doesn't say christians only, but there's a bigger emphasis on christians.

....the answer is the following scripture: "For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe" (1 Timothy 4:10")

The saviour of all men. Now let's look at another scripture:

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

There was a more emphasis on the Lord's death for Christians, but Jesus died for all.

Very good Matt. The problem lies with people's misunderstanding of eternal salvation. Yes indeed, eternal salvation is eternal, i.e. it can't be reversed.

The only issue I have with Carm is limited atonement, I don't believe it. I believe in Unlimited atonement. Christ Jesus died for those who would accept him and those who wouldn't. However, only those who accept Jesus as their saviour will be in Heaven.

....Why do I beleive in unlimited atonement you might ask. The answer is
