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 Gods 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.

No, Satan cannot be born again. As you know, Satan's name before he became who he is now was Lucifer. Satan was the highest Cherubim in the angelical order. In the Bible, it says that "He was the annoited Cherubim." His main duty was to watch over mankind and the Earth, also the Garden of Eden. He was to protect and serve.
Satan was created PERFECT. He had no flaws whatsoever in him. The same goes for demons and angels. Satan's pride, anger, rage, and jealously took over him when God told him to serve mankind. Satan's accusation was that he was conceived in fire and that man should worship and serve him because of that. He said that man was created in clay, and that he(Satan) came before man. Well to reject Adam was basically rejecting the image of God and rejecting God himself. Even though we are not equal too God, we are still created in God's image.
Satan is NOT. He is a spirit that is not created in God's image. Satan was perfect. Therefore since he was perfect and he turned his back on God. God cast him out and that was a major major sin. 1/3 of God's angels sided with Satan and they were cast out as well. Satan is an enemy of man and God.
Angels who commit sin are cast out and are waiting upon judgement. They have no chance for salvation and redemption because they were created perfect and without flaw. Man was created perfect, but fell because of Satan. Since God loves us so much and we are created in His image, He sent Jesus to be that second chance for redemption and salvation.
Mankind did not know of evil. Satan knew what evil was. He knew right from wrong. Mankind did not know right from wrong.
Fallen angels were angels that committed sexual sins, which are totally separate from when Satan's and a 1/3 of God's angels fell with him. The fallen angels came later. They bound in chains and are waiting for judgement.
Which there ultimate eternal home is the lake of fire.

Scary fundamentalist right answer: Hell no, Satan had a chance and he's gonna burn!
Theologian's answer: Technically Satan is not given a second chance, as only humans are given this gift by God and Satan is angel.
Normal Answer: Satan who?

ETERNAL means FOREVER. No Satan cannot be reborn. No He isn't going to give Satan a second chance. No mind changing there will be happening. The Bible says ETERNAL.

I've asked this question of Christians before and according to them Satan is not eligible for salvation even if he repents and asks forgiveness for being what he was created to be.
apparently Christians and their god simply can't exist happily without scapegoats so not only will Satan never be forgiven but neither will Judas, Pilate or any of the other bad guy players in the Bible god's cruel little stage production.
pretty damn shabby, if ya ask me. afterall, bad guys just acted out the script(ures) as written.

satan had his chance... as satan knew God personaly and knew The Truth and still willingly chose to reject God that voided all his chances. the same applies to mortals... a mortals chance is valid so long as he has mortal ability to choose... at the end of mortal existance all will come into the presence of God and know The Truth... but it will be for those as it was,and is, for satan... no more chances.

No.
Salvation (being born again) is for mankind.
Satan was created as an angel (Lucifer) who rebelled against God and tried to make himself equal with God.
Satan will not get a second chance.

Unlike humans, angels have access to GOD unlike humans who don't know if He even exists so for me to see how Satan convinced 1/3 of the angels to rebel against God is astonishing to see bcuz they have free will also

Who will people point there finger at to blame for there own bad actions if Satan asks God for another job? That would mean all these people would be completely responsible for there own actions and they would just choose someone else to blame.

Because he was given this option once and turned away from it. Thought he was more powerful and wanted more power. He was "kicked out" of heaven because of it. Not gonna happen cause it's written it won't. But satan will be destroyed in the end. It is written.
