Apparently anyone who truly repents will be forgiven and allowed up there.
I reckon he should - it'd certainly chuck a spanner in the works...

No. Right there in Genesis God tells the Devil he's out. God and Satan do have a relationship, (like when God allows Job to be tempted by the Devil)
There's always someone who says that "ooh, the party in hell will be awwweeesome" but they are missing the point - hell = being apart from God forever. Now THAT isn't good... and is NOT a party...

No, there's no reason for us to pray for the devil to have a change of heart and be converted. The Bible makes it clear that Satan's doom is certain, and that someday he will be cast "into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41).
Never forget that Satan is absolutely opposed to God, and he always will be. This has been true since the beginning of time, when he rebelled against God and tried to take over God's position as Lord of the universe. All evil comes from him, and he will do everything he can to spew forth deception and death upon the earth. The Bible says that "there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies" (John 8:44).
No, we don't pray for Satan to repent—but the Bible does tell us to pray that he will be bound, and that those who follow him will be blocked from carrying out their evil schemes. We should pray this both for ourselves and our world. The Apostle Paul wrote, "Pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith" (2 Thessalonians 3:2).
The most important truth about Satan, however, is that he is a defeated foe, for by His death and resurrection Jesus Christ conquered Satan. Is your faith and trust in Christ?

No. The fate of Satan has been sealed. In the book of Revelation, it says that he will be abyssed for a thousand years, and then destroyed soon after he is released to tempt mankind one last time. See Rev.20:3.

No it's impossible. The Devil knows what he's doing. He used to be one of God's head angels, but he willingly wanted the worship for himself and that's what makes him the Devil.

God would have not forsaken the devil if their was a remote possibility that the devil would repent

Considering his intelligence and power-I doubt it. You must remember that the devil is the most intelligent and powerful creature ever created. He will serve no one.

yes. and why not, poor guy has been given a pretty bad name and blamed for alot of things in the past for which he's probably not responsible. i reckon god and satan need each other to restore a sort of happy medium.
