    Totally agree and that's what we base our faith on

    No one really knows what the pastor was thinking in the final minutes before he ended his life.
    A person who suffers from chronic depression is mentally sick.
    There are brain abnormities that are attributed to depression and demonic suggestions attacking the thought life that cause it.
    A unsaved person who commits suicide would not go to heaven.
    A saved person who commits suicide rolls the dice with their eternal destiny.
    In my mind, a Christian who takes their own life leaves room for "doubt" if they made it to heaven or not. I outright cannot answer the question?
    With eternal consequences on the line, any "doubt" in regards to going to heaven or hell would keep me from ever "pulling the trigger."
    One thing I do know is that if I did "pull the trigger" I would regret entering the throne room "unannounced."
    Forget hearing my Master say, "Well done, good and faithful servant".
    Be prepared to forfeit the "overcomers" rewards spelled out in Revelation.
    I suppose the Christian suicide if they made heaven (I hate that word if) would suffer loss, but would be saved, yet so as through fire.
    They may have made heaven, but God would have to "wipe away their tears" because the Christian suicide "cut short" their life that God had planned for them, thus forfeiting any eternal treasure (rewards) that they could have laid at Jesus feet.
    As tragic as suicide is, for a believer, it would have eternal ramifications of "loss" even though the soul would be saved.
    If you put God First, you have Him at Last.

    HOW TO OVERCOME A SPIRIT OF SUICIDE
    Kris Vallatton

    The spirit of suicide is one of the most nefarious thieves to prowl the planet. Many years ago, I was under the influence of a suicidal spirit for several grueling months. One of the biggest challenges I faced was that every time the spirit talked to me, it injected a desire to follow through on the thought to end my life. It came not only with a lie but with a compulsion that sometimes felt like it could take over my thoughts and even my actions...

    The Death of Pastor Jarrid Wilson: Is Suicide the Unpardonable Sin?

    I lean more to the "it will send you to hell" side of this but, like a number of other subjects, I would not be bothered in the least little bit to find out that I am wrong.

    Nevertheless, death is PERMANENT and, in most cases (barring those testimonies of people who went to heaven or hell but came back), you don't get a "do-over". Therefore, I would NOT take my chances based primarily on people's sympathy for the one who committed suicide and his family (whom I am very heartbroken for). We can philosophize all day about whether or not certain conditions makes suicide the "unpardonable sin" (borrowing from Dr. Browne's article linked by Fuego above). However, if the one who committed suicide is suffering eternal damnation then our philosophies have done him (or her) no good.

    A fear of certain things is a good preventer for something that can permanently harm you. I fear walking out in the middle of a busy freeway since I am bound to get run over by a speeding vehicle. It possibly may not happen but why take chances. I fear playing around in poisonous snake pits because I could get bit and die and an excruciatingly painful death. It may not happen but again, why take chances.

    This is why I would be very careful about planting the thought in anyone's head that a Christian committing suicide could possibly go to heaven. I find it better to emphasize the truth about hell and remind people not to take their chances on eternity. If you gamble with suicide convincing yourself that you may possibly make it in to heaven, you don't get a "do-over" if you find out you were wrong.

    Best to minister love and deliverance to those contemplating suicide.

    If I rewrite the above just a little bit then I agree with you :

    I understand what you are saying but I (personally) think a stronger warning about hell is necessary to prevent people from taking chances.

    A sensible person wouldn't take chances with that, not even with a .999 probability of success. I'm worried that going as far as you do merely piles up fear, a kind of fear that doesn't actually do any good.

    "Piles up fear" when it comes to suicide and the possibility that it could send you to hell does no good? What does no good is to deceive people into thinking you may just have a chance to make it in even if you murder yourself. If there is one thing most people have stated in this discussion so far is "we don't know. God is the judge." Well, since no one knows then do not gamble with a depressed person's possible eternity by implying that a suicide might end in a positive eternity.

    There is a such thing as a "healthy fear". If a "healthy fear" prevents them from taking a chance then it does plenty of good. What does NO good is to gamble with one's eternity because they think that they might have that chance of making it in.

    Remove fear of consequences and people can take chances that they will never recover from.

    Last word is yours.
