Absolutely! If you have believed in Christ alone for salvation then you are saved no matter what. You cannot escape Heaven even if you wanted to. But you will arrive there a loser and will have regret, being a peon in Heaven for eternity. Why not make the best of it while God still wants you here on Earth? When He is done with you He will take you home.
Start living by learning true, accurate Bible Doctrine. You may need medication if you are too far gone mentally, but God says there is still hope as long as you are alive. What have you got to lose by staying alive? You will definitely be a loser if you off yourself so stay here for a while and see if you can become a winner believer by learning Bible Doctrine, which will teach you how to solve your own problems. All the stuff on this website is free and is AWESOME!!!
And to Him Who is able to keep you from falling, be honor, glory, dominion and power forever and ever, Amen!

If you're born again then you have incorruptible seed. You would still be the child of your heavenly parent as well as your earthly parent. If you committed suicide you would be out of fellowship but nothing would undo the gift you chose to recieve from God. Perfect love does not take back a gift that was given. You could choose not to enjoy the gift you received or ignore it or just forget about it but it would always be there once it was given.
Now if you believed at one time that God, by way of the finished work of His Son Jesus Christ, did this wonderful thing for you; then why consider suicide? God loves you as a caring perfect heavenly parent and has great things in store for you.. Talk to someone who can cheer you up and be proud of what you believe. God will need your help one day to share His message with others just like someone shared it with you...Even when it seems that nobody cares, don't ever give up. God always has our best interest in mind ...we just have to learn how to grow in becoming more trusting and receptive to His goodness in the middle of this crazy world. Your heavenly Father will Never fail you and will always amaze you as you grow trusting His love and guidance. The catch is we gotta be alive to experience this. Grace and peace be with you.

The answer to that is no. Suicide is one out of two actions that will guarantee that you don't go to heaven. Suicide in the spiritual sense is the ultimate rejection of God. Basically when you commit suicide it's as if your showing God that you don't beleive there is any way for him to change your situation or save you from whatever is happening to you.
As a side note I'd like to say most if not all people contimplate suicide but how you handle those urges determines not only the strength of your mind but the power of your faith and the will of your soul.

Let me give you my food for thought, and you may do with it what you will. Through most of my life I've had thoughts of suicide. I would think of ways I could accomplish this task, if so necessary. But in the end I would always be confronted with the question similar to yours.
Then, in November of 2003, while randomly watching the TV show John Edwards, who's a psychic, at a friends home, I sat transfixed as John answered a young mans question of whether his dead brother was alright. John told him that his brother was in a wonderful place... just not as wonderful as it could be. You see, the young mans brother had committed suicide. It was right then that I knew I could not and would not ever take my own life.Soon after that, feelings and thoughts of my existence began to change, Personally, I feel my life on earth is but a mere flash. Once my time has come, as meant to be, I will truly experience the gloriest of miracles and existences that my mind could never of fathomed... so beyond the realm. All I did was make the decision I wasn't going to cheat myself out of a great adventure.
God speed to you, and keep the faith...If you haven't seen a doctor about your depression, please do so. I am bi-polar/manic depressive, but with the right medication and doctor I am fine for the most part, just like anyone else. You too deserve the best of what the future has to offer.

First of all, as a sufferer of clinical depression and a born-again Christian, and a pastor, I can totally relate to you.
The short answer is, yes, you will still go to heaven. God's grace poured out with the blood of Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient for the forgiveness of ALL sins.
However, if you are seriously considering taking your own life I strongly suggest you seek counsel immediately. Without it I wouldn't be here today to answer this question.

No. Born again Christians do not commit suicide - they seek guidance from God during the troubling times. Death comes in God's time, not yours. You were put on this earth for a purpose and will remain here until God decides to call you home. Seek help from your parents, counselor, pastor or youth director. Good luck.

The most important thing in your life past death, is to die in a clear state of mind. Everything is energy, when the energy that holds the atoms together is transferred to a new form, it is important that it is positive. You will not cease to exist. Does an apple Cease to exist when it is eaten? No, the energy creating that apple is transferred into your body, it is disgusted, and some of it is probably given off in the form of heat. It takes nothing to make nothing, and nothing can disappear.
Why don't you achieve something great. Practice holding your breath, and try to hold it for five minutes. Give life a chance to make itself worth living.

How about NOT commiting suicide, and just making some changes in your life that would enable you to think clearly, and be happy?

Wow jessica i hope you are not considering this. because if you are you are not understanding the core of christianity. you got to ask yourself is your turmoil that great whereas Jesus carried the sins of the world on our cross. you got to remember that Jesus asks for our problems and He and the father will guide you. It's in His plan where you will reach the kingdom of heaven.
Thus by you killing yourself, you are in essence taking your fate in your hands and not listening to the will of God. Suicide is your soul losing the battle with the devil.
Seek help my christian sister and pray.
