if a man grows up his entire life believing in God but still does what he wants to do. Then one day excepts Christ into his Heart and Confesses and asks for forgivness for his sins. Then the Very next Day commits Suicide. Does he still go to Heaven?

i believe he will for this reason. If the Holy Spirit moves us to be saved (which you cant get saved unless He does this, cause we cant get saved anytime we want) and in obedience accept the calling, then there is nothing or no one (including ourselves) that can take our salvation away. As it says in matthew, we are in Christs' hands and Christ is in His Fathers hands and no man can pluck us out of His Fathers hands. The word man is mankind and that includes ourselves. Also, just because somone accepts Christ i doesnt mean that all problems and struggles are gone. It takes time to understand and have faith in God to utilize that He is in controle and can help us through all problems in our life.

HOW WE GROW
Let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God - what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect. Romans 12:2b (TEV)
Your heavenly Father's goal is for you to mature and develop the characteristics of Jesus Christ. Sadly, millions of Christians grow older but never grow up. They are stuck in perpetual spiritual infancy, remaining in diapers and booties. The reason is that they never intended to grow.
Spiritual growth is not automatic. It takes an intentional commitment. You must want to grow, decide to grow, make an effort to grow, and persist in growing. Discipleship- the process of becoming like Christ- always begins with a decision.
You (may) go to Heaven, but you may be stuck on earth for a while as a ghost, till you learn, that negativity would keep you grounded, perhaps till Revaluation starts or ends. So if your smart, do God's will -Grow to be like Jesus Christ.

If suicide is a sin, did he ask God's forgiveness after commiting this sin? I wish I could answer your question, but I can't - I'm not the judge of mankind. God knows who will enter the kingdom of heaven and none of us should attempt to say we know for sure.

If the man was truly repentant of his sins and was sincere in praying that God would forgive him and accepted Jesus as his Savior, then he is saved. If he would commit suicide at anytime after being saved, he is still saved. I believe that once saved always saved. And I also believe that we are to be as much like Christ as we can possibly be.

Well, from what I was taught my whole life is suicide is unforgivable. But who really knows, only Jesus can make the decision whether or not to let us in heaven. I would definitely say if you are feeling that depressed that you think suicide is the only way to go, please talk to someone about it, there are a lot of good people out there that will help you through your problems.

No. First of all it takes more than just "Asking Christ into his Heart". i hate it when people say that b/c it's wrong. Look up Acts 2:38. It'll tell you what to do to be saved. And also, suicide is killing and the Bible says specifically "Thou shalt not kill." Also if he really believed in God he wouldnt have to commit suicide.

Unless he is mentally ill and therefore not responsible for his actions, he would definately lose his salvation.
Phil 2:12 tells us that we must work out our salvation in fear and trembling.
Mt 24: 13 tells us that ONLY those who persevere to the end will be saved.
1 Cor 10:11-12 says that those thinking they are secure will fall.
We must work on our salvation every minute of every day. Presuming on God's Mercy is a horrid sin.

Who do YOU want to believe?? Us answering your question, or the bible answering your question? I suspect you would rather listen to God's word, right?
Where do we, (all mankind), go after death, natural or otherwise?
The answer is in the book of Ecclesiastes 12:6-7. EVERYBODY!! without exception goes back to God.
Where is God?....Heaven!!
Then what??....We wait for the Judgement.
