First of all Satan would never ask for salvation in Jesus's name because he believes human beings are inferior and God is inferior to him, Satan believes that he should be God.

Second if for some reason Satan got over himself or got smart and asked for forgivness in the name of Jesus Christ it would unmake the universe. If God is all powerful, all knowing, all present and what he says is the truth and the bible is God's word, and the bible says that there will be a battle between good and evil and that Satan will be cast out then possess the Anti Christ and God will finally beat and judge Satan and he will be cast in to Hell for eternity. So if all this does not happen then it will unmake the universe.

Third Satan is already past the point where he can be saved. He has committed the unpardonable sin (blasphamy against God). He claims several times that the works of God, the Son and the Holy Spirit are works of him and his angles. Therefore he will never be saved even if he begged for it.

God knows everything, past, present and future, so if Satan/Lucipher were to request salvation (and ruin God's plans), God would already know this and would already have other plans in place.

I think about that too. But this is the thing, Satan isn't being chosen by God. The Bible says that none come except the Father draw him.

So Satan isn't interested in all of that. He can appear to be pretty stupid sometimes. Satan has even seen God, and doesn't want to come to Him. That's crazy!

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of God plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Too late for Satan there Jackson.
And his demons.
And the demons that gave birth to the Nephilim.

They have indeed committed the unforgiveable sin.
Plus, they were perfect, then sinned. Not like us that are born imperfect.

Back to just Satan, what he will do in the future, and what will happen to him is prophecied.

Nothing, nothing Satan does, will gorify God.

God is glorified in all things, even things that attempt to defy him. Things that defy him end up bringing him glory against their will, because their opposition and destructions shows the goodness of God to those who call upon his name.

As for Satan asking for salvation, salvation, as it is presented in the Bible, is God's forgiveness being extended to humans through Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Salvation isn't just something you ask for, it is also a difference in a life. Saying a prayer to ask God to forgive you isn't what saves you. Actually confessing with your heart is what God is interested in. As the old saying goes, "Talk is cheap." God wishes for us to be reconciled to him, which requires us to submit to him as our Lord. Satan, however, has shown no such desire. The Bible has told us how it will end, and Satan is not going to ask for forgiveness, but it is a good question, "What if?" after all, there are many angels that have chosen to disobey God, what if one of them chooses to come back to God? Unfortunately, we don't know the answer to that specifically, because the Bible doesn't exist to address God's relationship with angels, but his relationship with us. There is nothing that I see in Scripture that would support salvation being available to angels, however, God has not told us all things. One day we'll know. Until then it is best to focus on what concerns us, which is our relationship with God.

He isn't human so Jesus didn't come for his salvation. Satan had his opportunity to choose to follow God and he chose not to. He has been damned. Unfortunately for every creature, there is a limited time to make the choice to follow God. For humans we have until our death. Demons made their choice long ago and don't have another opportunity.

That's a good question. It looks like most Christian's would rather not address the question. However according to the Christian beliefs, if someone is truly sorry for their sins and ''accept Jesus as their savior'', they are granted into the 'Kingdom of Heaven'. So according to Christian beliefs Satan would be able to enter Heaven. Unless of course they are hypocrites - but no! that's unheard of.
