Lets say that a soldier knows that the only way to save one of his brothers is to walk across to the other side of the mine field. Now this soldier knows that he is most likely going to die. But because he is dedicated to his service and his battalion, he chooses to die to save another life.

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
Romans 5:7
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die.
So, as you can see dying for others could be considered a Christian duty. But, one must be sure of his salvation before going into a minefield or any other daring act.

Nah, it's not suicide. You're not taking your own life, per se. Just like smoking isn't considered suicide, although it's proven that it'd kill you.
Even if it was suicide, the fact that you're doing something noble to save another life overrides it and you're morally in the clear.

No it's not suicide. It is actually one of the greatest things that a person can do for another. Just as Jesus died so we all can be saved, it's an act of love.
May God Bless you.

Nope, it's self-sacrifice, which is considered one of the most noble things you can do by many of the world's religions. From a Christian point of view, this would be the highest expression "Love your neighbour as yourself."

THERE IS NO BETTER LOVE THAN TO LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR A FRIEND ~Holy Bible
Suicide generally means that one has succumb to the despair of living, and/or someone who has altogether given up on life.
Huge difference in my opinion.

Knowing your going to die to save someone is called a hero not a suicidal person. Jesus died for you and me and he is our savior.

I guess it would be considered suicide, because you are killing yourself!
I think people that give their lives to save another are the most amazing people. people who put their lives in danger to save another are amazing 2.
